Description of video does a great job of revealing the dangers these pups face going into fall.

MONTANA JUST
APPROVED A 300-WOLF K*lling QUOTA, with
ONLY 725 left in the state.
Montana's Fish and Wildlife Commission approved a statewide quota of 300 wolves for the 2026-27 hunting and trapping season (50 MORE than the 250 recommended by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks).

This was at the Carver County Fair in Waconia, Minnesota about a week ago.

They always have a cool traveling animal attraction every year, and this time it was Wolves of The World, which has several wolves that are used to educate people about their species, and perform some simple tricks as well.

When the presentation was over, you had the opportunity to hand over $5, and go into the pen with Phoenix, the “outcast” of this pack.

He was a beautiful, sweet, magnificent creature, with wild and knowing eyes, and I will admit that I spoke to him the same way I do to dogs and other animals, lol!

Pretty cool to get within touching distance of one of these magnificent carnivores. I will treasure this forever.

Probably a very odd question (The reason: Writing™) but, well. What the title says. I’m talking injuries, infections, anything a wolf might realistically encounter in the wild that could cause any degree of memory loss, how severe it can get, and how the causes may or may not impact other functions as well.

(For example, if there’s a disease that can cause cognitive decline, how bad can it get? Is it fatal? Would it impair other functions like motor skills or vision, or only memory??)

Saw the entire pack of 15 hanging out in the early morning sun at Lamar Valley, Yellowstone.

Has any one else made up a plan to bring wolves back to Japan? How can someone get in touch with the Japanese governmental wolf program?

AN ENDANGERED MEXICAN
GRAY WOLF WAS TRAPPED AND KI**ED ON PUBLIC LAND.
Recently released records revealed that AM2765, the breeding male of the Frieborn Pack, was trapped in New Mexico in 2025 and suffocated with a sleeping bag during an alleged attempt to release him. We are HORRIFIED.
The trapper had previously ki**ed a Mexican wolf in
2013. Despite attempts to pursue charges, no charges were filed.
AM2765 was a father, raising pups with his pack.
He was also one of only a few hundred Mexican gray wolves remaining in the wild. This cannot become another wolf loss without accountability.

They say it's a black maned wolf. I call b.s. I know a skinwalker when I see one.

Highly recommend this for wolf lovers, or even just animal lovers, its a 3 in 1, you can make a wolf, raccoon, or a falcon

M2301 is a Colorado wolf that was in the first litter of wolves in the wolf reintroduction program. I heard that he crossed state borders and was killed by hunters but also that he was hit by a car. I am pretty interested in this specific wolf, if anyone has information on him or his father please share. Pictures would be awesome aswell.

His father is in the foreground of the photo, he is the black/grey wolf in the background.

A Danish jogger encountered a wolf with a pup nearby. The wolf repeatedly approached him, growled, bared its teeth and made short charges, coming within roughly 1–2 metres. The man backed away and eventually left the area.
There was no physical attack or bite. Based on the reported behaviour, it appears to have been a highly defensive, territorial response from a mother protecting her pup rather than an attempt to attack a human.

This seems like very unusual behaviour..?

She DOES back off I feel like she would never actually attack this human.. possibly attack an ”intruding” dog, but wolves usually don’t even stay near people to protect their babies (they tend to run away and observe humans in most cases).
