‘Exceptionally Rare’ Footage: Wolf Hunts Beaver on Trail Cam
A trail camera caught “exceptionally rare” footage of a wolf hunting a beaver in the greater Voyageurs National Park area of northern Minnesota. The Voyageurs Wolf Project operates trail cameras in this area and frequently shares interesting footage of wolves and other animals native to Voyageurs. In this case, a wolf stalked and killed a beaver—a scene the nonprofit says has only ever been captured on camera “a handful of times ever.”
Another beaver snack at Voyagers. This one is described as “Exceptionally rare” which I find hard to believe. Beavers are eaten by wolves so much at voyageurs that it’s a meme. Around here it’s a punnchline. And if wolves held potluck dinners all the wolf-wives would show up with the same thing. (I guess since it’s Minnesota they would be covered in Tater-tots)
Apparently they say that THIS is rare because it was entire caught on film.
Love the helpful sign explaining that the animal with a big tail in the wolf’s mouth ks a beaver.
Did we think it was an otter?
