First try refreshing your browser or try another browser. If that doesn't work, read the following.
All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel
Description
Great footage of the Cranberry Bay Pack from the remote forests of Voyageurs in early December 2021! The weathered gray wolf leading the pack is Wolf V083, the famed “beaver killer” (he killed 42 beavers in 2020!) and breeding male of the pack.
The pack was 7 wolves strong in early winter 2021 which is larger than average pack size for our area (4-5 wolves). The large pack size was because all 4 of the Cranberry Bay pups survived to winter!
The pack decreased to 6 wolves sometime during mid-to-late winter either because a wolf died or dispersed from the pack (which is common). Wolf V083 and his mate continue to lead the pack and likely produced another litter of pups this year (but will need trail cam footage to confirm!).
Thanks to our friends @naturespy for providing trail cameras/supplies to capture footage like this!

Such beautiful, beautiful creatures and clearly, something "left its mark" which caught just about everyone's attention. We would never witness this if it weren't for those special people that take the time, energy and effort to put their cameras out. Thank you.

Thank God that wolves are now protected in most areas.
