Voyageurs Wolf Project, an organization focused on understanding the ecology of wolves in Minnesota, posted a cryptic video on X earlier this month featuring what looked to be a coyote-dog hybrid.
An estimated 15% of Canada and Alaska's wolf population of 6,000-7,000 is eliminated annually. (Canada's total wolf population is about 30,000.) Ontario ceased its wolf bounty system in 1972, though retaining a year-round open season for wolves. [2] In Alberta, wolves bounties are still offered by some local governments.
The wolf must give chase and gain on its fleeing prey, slow it down by biting through thick hair and hide, and then disable it enough to begin feeding. [4] After chasing and then confronting a large prey animal, the wolf makes use of its 6 cm (2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) fangs and its powerful masseter muscles to deliver a bite force of 28 kg/cm 2 (400 lbf/in 2), which is capable of breaking open the ...
