Researchers use a camera collar to find out that wild wolves catch fish

The Voyageurs Wolf documentary project at the University of Minnesota explores the lives of wild wolves. Researchers

caught and euthanized a lone wolf who wasassigned the nickname V089. They put a collar on him with a Vectronic-Aerospace camera. The collar recorded video in 30-second bursts during daylight hours, for a total of seven minutes per day.

According to scientists, they managed to make amazingfootage from the life of V089. True, some of them are covered with fur: the next time they promised to cut the subject. Researchers found that V089 was smart enough to go fishing near a beaver dam, chasing trapped fish.

“Wolves, it turns out, catch freshwater fish, ohsomething people didn’t even suspect,” said researcher Thomas Gable. “The fact that this wolf started doing this suggests that this is not a one-time occurrence.”

Other highlights include a wolf gnawing on a deer bone, tramping along a river and eating fish.
