This might be THE fattest bear we have ever seen in our area! How much do you think this porker weighs?! Unfortunately, we only got one video of this beauty but it is enough to appreciate the bear's curves and figure...it worked hard for that body!

Thinking of warm spring Northwoods days and counting wolf pups on this wintry Monday morning in Voyageurs where it is -22 F outside but feels like -39 F with the wind.

There is a huge difference in how big wolves look during summer and winter. The same individuals often look huge and fluffy in winter but thin and scrawny during summer. Here are some comparisons of the Nashata Pack to illustrate this.

There is a rare opportunity to come join us on a wolf howl survey this summer, where we will head into the quiet Northwoods at night and try to hear wild wolves howling.

Currently going through footage from this winter and got this nice footage of a black wolf traveling with a normal “gray" wolf. The pair appeared to be transient and not part of a pack in our area. There are no black wolves in any of the packs we are currently studying.

We have had many folks comment that the wolves we are studying are actually coyotes. The implication being that we don’t know how to tell the two species apart. Basically, some people think we are idiots. (1/5)

Introducing the 2023 Half-Moon Pack pups....video from just a few days ago! The pack has 7 pups this year and all appear to be in good shape! Much more neat footage of these little guys to come!

The 4th installment of our “One year on a …” trail camera series! This time on a very common feature in the Northwoods: an ATV trail. This camera was pretty cool because we got almost every carnivore species in the Northwoods— only missing a few!

Here are all the wildlife that used a hiking trail over the course of 1 year in the Northwoods of Minnesota when people weren’t on it! Something peaceful and soothing about observing all the wildlife going about their lives during the various seasons.
