Wolves fishing at Voyageurs National Park


In another stunning revelation of wolf behavior from northern Minnesota’s Voyageurs National Park, researchers Thursday announced they have confirmed park wolves hunting for and eating fish out of streams as a regular part of their diet.

The researchers released the first-ever video of wolves eating freshwater fish, and said GPS data shows one pack spent about half their time during several weeks in April and May “hunting” in creeks for spawning suckers and northern pike...

Wolves are known to eat spawning salmon in coastal British Columbia and Alaska, but wolves hunting freshwater fish has not been described in detail before.

    where i live, i have fish crows, so why not fish wolves?

    p.s. i bet wolves catch frogs, too.

    p.p.s what kind of fish are those - they look like salmon?
