Wolves, bobcats, bears, and much more on display in a highlight reel of trail camera footage in Minnesota.
is a University of Minnesota research initiative designed to understand more about wolves within northern Minnesota’s Greater Voyageurs ecosystem.
“This camera was out in the woods for almost two years and here is the ‘highlight reel!’ What makes this video particularly neat is that we got footage of virtually every large carnivore in northern Minnesota aside from the ‘black cougar’ that some locals claimed to have seen and the famed but elusive ’squatch,” writes the Voyageurs Wolf Project on Instagram.The organization adds that “large” carnivores are anything the size of a pine marten and bigger. Pine martens weigh about three pounds.
Since the trail cameras catch both wolves and coyotes, the footage is beneficial for helping researchers understand the difference between the two related canids. Many coyotes in North America include wolf ancestry, so there is sometimes a lot of overlap between wolves and coyotes in appearance. Size is a key factor in differentiating the two canids, along with behavior and predation habits.
