A summer on a bear trail #Video

The sheer number of different bears on this trail during the past summer is amazing (20-30 different bears?). And this is the only wildlife trail we have found that consistently has this kind of bear activity.

We pulled the SD card on this camera yesterday so this is hot off the press! We thought it was super cool and wanted to share as we figured folks would enjoy it as well.

Oh, and bears aren’t the only animals using the trail as you can see...

The wolves in the video are members of the Whiskey Point Pack and most footage is of the breeding male (bigger wolf missing top of right ear), the breeding female, and two yearlings.

Most of these wolves look really thin, with their pelvis clearly visible. Summer— late summer in particular— is the leanest time of the year for wolves, and these wolves’ bodies are evidence of that.

P.S.—make sure to watch to the end if you want to see some neat moose footage!

Lastly, huge thanks to the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for supporting our project, which allows us to capture and share footage like this.
