Late #mondog, because of *waves at everything*
So we went on the longer, quieter river walk this evening to calm down and recharge.
This is one of the tributary rivers, low enough to walk around in.

#SilentSunday evening walk.
When Lusha isn't grinning from ear to ear, she looks more wolfy.
(There is a small yappy dog in the cottage behind - sometimes he escapes and tries to come walkies with us)

BIG TREE fell in the road yesterday. Lusha is unimpressed.
It's one of the big 300yr old beech trees that line the Old Road by the river - a lot of them are dying / been cut down for safety last year.
This one looked OK, but was obviously rotten inside.

Although wolves use varied vocalizations to express themselves, howls are certainly the most popular.
Just like us, each wolf has a unique voice so distinctive features of each individual’s howl allow wolves to identify each other.
If you listen carefully to Silas + Nikai, you'll notice that their howls are unique yet somehow come together to create the most beautiful music.

Get ready for a dose of adorable!
We've all had those mornings, and it seems Mexican gray wolf pup Kazoo is no exception! He's so deep in his puppy dreams that it takes the combined efforts of his entire pack to wake him up!
Beyond being cute, this a glimpse into the close-knit and affectionate nature of wolf families. Every interaction, even a collective wake-up call, is a testament to the strong bonds they share.

Eager to play, Mexican gray wolf Sonda puts his baby brother's head in his mouth!
Six-week-old Kazoo & his big brother Sonda have a bond that's as special as it is adorable. Their playful interactions weave a heartwarming tale of true sibling love.
Beyond being cute, these exchanges play a crucial role in their development. Through the joy of play, they learn, they grow, & they strengthen the bonds that make them family.

A wolf pack is a tightly-knit family capable of developing extraordinary traditions and social behaviors finely tuned to its precise environment. By passing knowledge from one generation to the next, wolves maintain traditions unique to their particular family.

German officials hosted a #wolf summit to discuss wolves. Livestock organizations vehemently protested any protection of wolves, stating instead that they would like to hunt wolves and see them eliminated from Germany.
But most people and prominent conservation figures are highlighting the lack of scientific evidence supporting a hunt and also calling out the hypocrisy of Germans wanting to ban trophy hunting in other countries but not their own.

Last week, the US House Natural Resources Committee voted in favor of HR 764, Lauren Boebert’s legislation which seeks to permanently remove federal ESA protections for gray wolves in the lower 48. The full House could take this bill up within weeks.
Five other bills & resolutions that threaten to undermine the ESA were also passed, including HR 1245 & HR 1419, which seek to remove federal ESA protection for 2 populations of grizzly bears.

The howl of the wolf is a language born of the wild, a testament to their unyielding spirit and the harmony of their pack; let it remind us that connection, loyalty, and communication hold the power to unite and guide us through life's untamed journey.

One of the most beloved matriarchs at the Wolf Conservation Center turns 15 today - join us in wishing Mexican gray wolf Rosa a happy birthday! 🎉
We've had the privilege of witnessing Rosa grow from a newborn pup into the intelligent, loving, and fierce wolf that she is today. Her tenacity inspires us, and we're so thankful that her children were raised by this powerful female - they will be better wolves because of her.
We love you, Rosa!

Affectionately named Rusty by a middle school student in a nationwide contest, the wolf was killed on April 12, leaving behind his likely pregnant mate and several yearling pups.
Get this... The Service quietly authorized the killing on March 29, 2023 – on the day marking the 25th anniversary of Mexican wolves’ return to the wild.

Raising pups is a family affair, so it is natural for all the wolves to pitch in!
Older siblings help out by regurgitating food for young pups; they'll also protect and babysit them. While pitching in, wolves will learn critical parenting strategies and techniques from their parents for when they have pups of their own.
Passing down knowledge from one generation to the next allows families to maintain traditions unique to their pack.

Last week, USFWS announced the passing of red wolf 1849F (featured on the right), the matriarch of the Milltail family.
Although the soon-to-be 13 yr old is no longer with us on the wild landscape of North Carolina, her captivating spirit lives on in her daughter (left) & grandpups, and we will continue the fight to safeguard the wild legacy she leaves behind.
Only 13 red wolves are known to remain in the wild.

The USFWS said it won't prohibit coyote hunting in parts of Arizona & New Mexico, where the animals are sometimes mistaken for endangered Mexican gray wolves, despite 11 examples of wolves shot by people who mistook them for coyotes.
Conservation organizations, including the WCC, filed a petition to protect coyotes under the ESA due to their similar appearance to Mexican wolves - Coyotes can be killed year-round in AZ & NM.

Did you know that cooperative living allows wolves to limit their population? For example, they control the numbers within their family group by only letting certain members breed. Self-regulation ensures that these essential apex predators do not overexploit their resources.

As of now, 256 wolves have been killed in Montana's controversial wolf hunt.
With snares, traps, and bait, people are killing these wolves for fun.
It's outrageous that in the 21st century, bloodlust continues to drive the wolf management policies in states like Montana, Idaho, & Wyoming.
Call on the US Interior to prioritize conservation over bloodsport by relisting wolves in the N. Rockies to protect them from this cruelty.

Snow may be a nuisance for some, but for wolves, it's a winter wonderland! Alawa (pictured via webcam) loves nothing more than playing and romping through the fresh snow. Next time you see a snowy landscape, imagine the joy that wolves must feel in this natural winter playground.❄️🐺

The death toll in Montana's controversial wolf hunt has increased to 254.
It's a sad reality that wolves in Montana face traps, bullets, and snares when they should be focused on the spring arrival of their pups.
Call on the U.S. Department of Interior to prioritize conservation over bloodsport.
Please TAKE ACTION to urge them to enact an emergency listing to protect wolves in the Northern Rockies → https://bit.ly/3XmkAwz

For decades, farmers and ranchers — and government agencies — have been killing wolves to protect livestock.
But there are nonlethal alternatives, and even better, these solutions are more permanent than lethal methods.
Kill a wolf, and there’s another wolf behind him, eager to attack. Keep a wolf away, and the rest of his pack will stay away too. They may even help keep other packs away.

Now's your chance to comment on Idaho's 2023-28 Wolf Management Plan. Idaho's draft plan aims to reduce its wolf population by 60% by promoting trophy hunting + incentivizing trapping via bounties.
Yes, bounties.
