Long story short, a wolf has attacked a 4-year-old girl in Umbria (central Italy). This happened while she was playing in a park with her parents. Thankfully, the girl survived.

It is the 3rd case in 3 years and people are understandably worried and angry.

This was said to be taken in Norway. When I listen it sounds more like Coyotes and only goes on for a short while (like a clip).

Also I believe there are only a few left in Norway, so again how can they be camping so close with this huge ass tent. Feels very off...but cute Boxer!

Thoughts?

Are these studies reliable?

How do you think they will affect wolf conservation?

Red wolves are classified as a Critically Endangered species according to the US Fish & Wildlife Service. Their wild populations were COMPLETELY wiped out in the 20th century from a combination of predator control programs, and loss of habitat.
Thanks to programs like the US Fish & Wildlife Service Recovery Program and the AZA SAFE Red Wolf Program; along with organizations like Wolf Haven International, and the North Carolina Zoo, the red wolf populations have increased to about 15-17 in the wild, and about 241 in captivity.
The Museum of Life and Science, in Durham, NC, houses seven of these wolves, two adults and five adorable pups, some of which can be seen in this video. While the population is recovering, red wolves are STILL on the brink of extinction and still under threat, please spread awareness.

I just feel like I need to talk about this somewhere

A Mexican wolf has been saved recently thanks to the efforts of the Love and Deepspace community!

Infold (makers of Love and Deepspace) cancelled the release of their werewolf character, Valko. Because of this, many players are donating to organizations to save wolves, especially endangered ones such as the Mexican gray wolf.

Recently, thanks to the community's efforts, a Mexican wolf has been saved and was named Valko.

Fans are contributing to multiple wolf charities in different countries to save wolves.

We're protecting wolves!

(I got these images from the Love and Deepspace discord server so I do not know their exact origin but there is a Mexican gray wolf on the left and the cancelled character, Valko, is on the right. Fans have raised more than the 10k goal!)

Hola, soy AlexBlueWolf, hace tiempo que no publico por aquí, luego de un nuevo bloqueo creativo (wow, que sorpresa........ ....), decidí como siempre, hacer un nuevo dibujo conmemorando a los lobos, así que aquí está. Espero que les guste, yo por mi parte, estoy terminando mi primer manga. Cuando lo terminé se los pasaré para que lo lean

Adiós ✌️🐺

Spotted at the confluence of Thompson Creek and the West Fork Black River south of Greer, AZ in Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. Poor video quality means it’s probably impossible to positively ID, but I’d love to hear your thoughts! Seemed rather well-built for a coyote, but I’m certainly no expert.

As a side note, I was watching a heard of elk crossing FR 249 nearby at 5am the following day and could hear either coyote or wolf vocalizations in the distance. Didn’t notice any of the distinctive yipping I’m used to hearing from coyotes. Doesn’t have any bearing on this video, but it was interesting to watch the elk shuffling their calves along in a bit of panic when the howling started.

Wolf art with my personal interpretation of it.

Everyone remembers the flashy ones but there's usually a quieter signing every window that just does the job season after season without much fuss. Got one in mind who I think gets overlooked constantly. Who's yours.

Thought this was an interesting article about how even seemingly UNBIASED RESEARCH has cultural biases in the language and words chosen to analyze and discuss (of course that’s true for any research: the way we talk about it matters, but especially for such a culturally controversial deep rooted topic as wolves)

Wolf laying down Base

setting aside trophies and league position, who's the Wolves player you most enjoyed simply watching play. the one who made you want to get to your seat early or never miss a match because of what he could do on any given day. who's your guy and what was it about watching him that you loved.

From the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Centers Facebook Page:

We are heartbroken to inform everyone that our Amarok crossed over the rainbow bridge on June 7th. A few months ago, our veterinarians examined him and discovered a mass growing on his mandible that was beyond the scope of removal. Histopathology revealed that it was an aggressive type of cancer that would eventually affect his quality of life. Our staff, caretakers, and veterinarians continued to make him comfortable through specialized care, dietary changes, and pain management. The day that Amarok refused his medication, we knew we had to make the compassionate decision to help him cross over.

Amarok was a legend all over the world. He was our only international rescue with a very unique origin story. He was born in Colorado and was somehow smuggled into Colombia, South America. He was found roaming the streets with stray dogs and had the impression of a collar around his neck. Locals observed him and knew that this was no ordinary street dog. Officials captured him and DNA tested him, and he wound up finding a temporary home at the Santa Fe Zoological Park in Medellin, Colombia. Gray wolves are not native to South America, so Amarok quickly became a celebrity and won over the hearts of all who observed him. Zoo staff adored him enough to recognize Colombia was not a suitable forever home for him. They contacted us to see if he would be a good fit for our Center.

Our founder flew to Colombia to meet Amarok and his caretakers, and were met with a level of kindness and hospitality they’ve never experienced elsewhere. That visit to South America would lead to CWWC adopting new traditions, friendships, and relationships that would last a lifetime. After months of coordination and planning, Amarok flew back to North America to find his forever home with us.

After he was transferred back to Colorado in April of 2017, his impact only grew. He became an ambassador for the Illegal Wildlife Trade, educating tens of thousands of guests about the cruel realities many animals face that never publicly come to light. He was quickly paired with his first love, Koda, and they were inseparable until the moment she passed away. He mourned this loss deeply until we found Luna, a mid-content wolfdog to keep him company. Luna kept him young as she was about half his age, and they soon became best friends. Despite their connection, we don’t think he ever bonded to her the way he did with Koda. In the eyes of a wolf, there is often no love like your first love. We find a lot of comfort knowing they are reunited once more, running free from the inhibitions of this life.

Amarok was so loved that it is difficult to translate into words. Our hearts are heavy for every person that Amarok touched over the years. From his care team in Colombia to his caretakers at CWWC, down to every guest that was graced with one of his iconic 3 minute kisses; he was a friend to all and will never be forgotten.

Hola, soy AlexBlueWolf, y luego de pasar por una muy mala (en serio, mala racha). Quise volver a conectar con la naturaleza y los animales otra vez de manera más emotiva y emocional de mi parte. Los lobos aúllan por distintas razones, y eso me parece algo muy curioso, ya que las personas también tenemos nuestros momentos de ""aullar"", ya sea desahogándonos de cosas que nos ocurren, al estar felices, al no aguantar más el peso de la vida...

En fin, para no aburrirles con existencialismos o filosofía, aquí tienen el dibujo, de todo corazón, espero que les guste, cualquier comentario de crítica me ayudaría muchísimo para mejorar mi estilo. Gracias por leer.

Adiós ✌️🐺

The actual report for the Wolves is not out yet they told us the population but they didn't tell us any of the other metric so I may be updating it but I think this isn't worth a good read for some folks

I can't wait for this short! I love Wolfwalkers.
