👻 Two Red "Ghost" Wolves spotted playing on a Texas beach. These canids carry ancestral Red Wolf DNA once thought lost, offering new hope for restoring genetic diversity to the American Red Wolf. Last year, we cloned the first: Neka Kayda. 🎥 Josh Henderson (1/2)

This video gives a rare glimpse into the "fishy" proclivities of wolves in our area. The video was taken in spring just a short distance from a creek wolves have fished at for many years. This past spring was the 10th year we have documented wolves hunting and catching fish—a behavior that had not been documented in boreal systems such as ours until our work, in part, because it is a tough behavior to observe. What is particularly fascinating is that this wolf was not only carrying a fish but carrying two of them. This is interesting because when we captured this behavior on video for the first time in 2018, we observed a wolf fishing, drop them on the creek bank, and wade back in to continue fishing. I.e., the wolf was not immediately consuming the fish it caught but rather fishing while the fishing was hot, and then once the fishing cooled down, would consume the fish. And this video seems to provide some additional evidence that it might be a widespread strategy wolves use. Two other interesting tidbits from this video: 1.) The wolf that dropped the fish was a yearling wolf. The wolf that grabbed the fish at the end was a different wolf. More specifically, the breeding female of the Half-Moon Pack and the older sister of the yearling wolf. 2.) Surprisingly, the black bear seemed very perplexed at finding this fish, and just left it alone without even taking a little nibble. We would have expected a bear to readily take a free meal like this but apparently not. We have collected of detailed information on how, when, where, and why wolves hunt fish in our area. You can read all about that in our scientific article (which is freely-available at the link below!): Freund et al. 2023. The ethology of wolves foraging on freshwater fish in a boreal ecosystem.

Incapable of writing anything less than a thesis about an all-time first trip to Red Rocks for three nights of one of my goats MARTIN GARRIX Red Rocks has been at the top of my bucket list since first getting into dance music. And when Garrix announced he’d be playing there for the first time, I knew if these shows couldn’t convince me to finally go, idk what would People always ask if it’s worth sending every night for these multi-night Garrix runs. The short answer is yes, and Red Rocks was a prime example of why. The reimagined Ushuaïa 2018 production was a masterpiece (shoutout to the legends Gabe Fraboni, Zis Ankone, and Andrea Voglino just to name a few), three different/peak Garrix tracklists (plus a new intro just for Red Rocks), the crowds were electric, and we got an Avengers-level support list (shoutout Mesto, AFROJACK, marshmello, and Alesso). The shows somehow kept getting better, especially Friday with our tailgate B2B, Alessorrix 2.0, and my favorite of the three Garrix sets As for Red Rocks itself, it was so surreal finally experiencing it in person. Everything from the view with the city lights in the back to the crisp sound (even being higher up night 1) to the setting as a whole came together for a perfect first impression. And despite the walk of death from the bottom to the top of the stairs at the end of each night, I left Red Rocks on Friday fully understanding why I people always say it’s their favorite place on Earth As always, I could yap about this for hours but I’ll end this caption with a thank you to MARTIN GARRIX, the STMPD RCRDS team, the Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre team, and everyone else involved in making last week happen

A fascinating interaction between a wolf and a bear at a bait pile put out by a local bear hunting guide. The bear initially chases the wolf away, but 5 minutes later, the wolf and bear are feeding at the bait pile a few feet from each other. We are currently in the 2nd week of the bear baiting season, and the hunting season opens tomorrow. Starting in mid-August, hunters maintain bait piles stocked with foods such as nuts, candies, donuts, and dried fruit to get bears visiting the area before the season opens on Sept. 1. All in all, bear hunting is a boon for wolves because it happens at their leanest time of year. As a result, wolves quickly find the bait piles in their territories and spend considerable time eating the bait (as you can see here). Once bear hunting season begins, the situation gets even better for wolves for three reasons: The first is that bear season results in many gut piles which wolves will eat in a heartbeat (and they excel at finding them). The second is that hunters and guides discard the remains of bear carcasses they have butchered (we know this always surprises some but people eat bear meat…we have had it and it is pretty tasty). Wolves find these carcasses and spend a lot of time scavenging every last morsel. The third reason: some bears are wounded or killed but not recovered by hunters. Both scenarios create opportunities for wolves to get the biggest-ticket item of bear season: an entire bear carcass. When bears are killed but not recovered, wolves win the lottery: a 100 to 300+ pound buffet just sitting in the woods, ready to be consumed. For a 60- to 70-pound wolf at the leanest time of year, that is about as good as it gets. When bears are wounded, wolves almost certainly can and will kill and consume them if the bear is vulnerable enough. We have studied wolf predation for the past 12 years, and almost the only time we have documented predation on black bears is in September, and to a lesser extent, early October. Overall, bear hunting almost certainly increases the interactions between wolves and bears. Some interactions, such as this one, are chill—with both animals tolerating each other. Others are not so chill. Either way, wolves definitely benefit from bear hunting.
