wolves

Next time you go to the St. Louis Zoo, you'll something new. Actually, it's a bunch of new things as a pack of American Red Wolves are now on the prowl there. Don't worry. It's actually a good thing.

It's not often you get to see a wolves close up. Thanks to a Midwest trail cam, you can see a large wolf pack with video that shows them crossing a frozen lake.

I will admit that I'm not really asking a question because I know the answer already. Or, at least I think I do. The internet is still arguing over whether a Missouri trail cam shows a wolf or a coyote. You can watch the video and come to your own conclusion.

There are many in Missouri that claim to have seen wolves. It does happen although many times it's a case of mistaken identity with coyotes. However, there is one place (and only one) in Missouri where you are guaranteed to see these fascinating animals.

A hunter in the Midwest was trying to trap coyotes who were encroaching on his land. Instead, he ended up capturing a huge black wolf and it took the efforts of many to save it.

I am still asking myself how this is possible. There's a video that appears to show a real black wolf near the Kansas City area. I've narrowed this down to a couple of possibilities and have the video you can watch and decide for yourself.

This man is braver than me. I realize that really isn't saying much considering the fact that in a fight or flee scenario, I'm probably running. However, I think most people aren't as brave as a Missouri man that got up close and personal with a real wolf and lived to tell about it.

I find wolves fascinating and every now and then I'll hear a report of one seen in the backcountry of Missouri. It's not common, but I've learned the Show Me State used to be a natural habitat for these wolves and may be again soon.

Even if you stare at trail cam videos for days on end, it's not likely you'll see anything remotely as cool as what appeared on this Midwestern trail cam. It was a stunning black wolf that got curious with the camera.

It doesn't matter what you do there are some people who will always want to be a critic. Take for example a Missouri man who frequently shares videos of himself playing with wolves and lions. Some love it while others are quite frankly ticked.
