Did you know, that under certain conditions, wolves can hear as far as six miles (9.6 km) away in the forest and ten miles (16 km) on the open tundra? They\u00a0spend about 35% of their time traveling and often travel 20 \u2013 30 miles (32 \u2013 48 km) per day, but may cover over 100 miles (160 km) in a day when prey is scarce.\u00a0 The wolf\u2019s ability to cover enormous distances, even under difficult winter conditions can make them a threat to species such as caribou.<\/p>\n

\"wolf-1\"SFI has funded work through the University of Saskatchewan to use LiDAR data with telemetry data from caribou, wolves and grizzly bears to assess patterns of species movements in the boreal forest landscape. This data will help understand the effects of forest harvesting patterns.\u00a0 Ideally this data would be used to increase caribou functional habitat and reduce predation by wolves.<\/p>\n

So as many North Americans continue to experience unusually cold weather, make sure you bundle up and enjoy the sights and sounds of the outdoors this weekend \u2013 and think about Mother Nature\u2019s wolves and their remarkable abilities in their wintery habitats.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
