Two years on an old logging road in Northern Minnesota

- This camera was out in the woods for almost 2 years (2021-2023) and here is the "highlight reel"! What makes this video particularly neat is that we got footage of virtually every large carnivore in northern Minnesota aside from the “black cougar” that some locals claimed to have seen and the famed but elusive ’squatch.
And by large carnivore we mean anything the size of a pine marten or bigger. Unfortunately, we did not get footage of otters which are only large carnivore missing. But we did get lynx, a badger(!), bobcats, wolves, a red fox, coyotes, martens, fishers, a skunk, and black bears!
The video is also a great comparison between the size difference of wolves and coyotes at different points in the year. Basically, while the wolves we study are generally on the smaller size (55-67 lbs), they are still much larger than coyotes.
The wolves in the video are the primarily members of the Blood Moon Pack as this camera was squarely in that pack’s territory. Though in one winter sequence toward the end of the video you see the Windsong Pack -7 wolves-blatantly trespassing!
Big thanks to the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund for their continued support of our project which allows us to capture and share videos such as this with everyone!

This was wonderful to see.😀 All the animals are so beautiful, thank you.👍
💙👍...Beautiful nature scene.
Animals are drawn to these old trails as they're so much easier to navigate than the thick underbrush of the bush.
I love watching their coats change in the seasons!
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤
Many people get confused of lynx and bobcats. Though the bobcat is a different type of lynx. The difference between the two is: Lynxes have longer legs and long ear tufts and bobcats have shorter legs and have shorter ear tufts. Lynx have little spots and bobcats have lots of spots, bobcats tails are longer and lynx tails are shorter.
That is a beautiful wolf pack
And the bobcat is gorgeous
Yes, there are a couple bobcats, but the one at 4:37 is a lynx. Note the prominent ear tufts and the huge paws.
Thank you, beautiful scenery
Beautiful scenery and healthy wildlife. Thank you ❤❤❤❤.
Thank you! Beautiful!❤🐺🐻
This is amazing! Thank you for posting this.
I'm glad these amazing animals still have their environment to live in.
If the part where the wolves were all walking together at night was a picture, you could call it,
"The Parade of Eyes"
Lol
Beautiful and healthy carnivore community. Thanks for sharing.
Love Pekania
1:37, Wow! That's a very pregnant looking coyote! I wonder how many pups she had that year?
Why do they almost always seem to notice the camera? Is it that conspicuous?
Вълчетата са много сладки!
Всички животинки са душички!
❤❤❤❤❤
Loved this beautiful diversity !
I’ve watched other trail cam vids that use closed captions to ID the wildlife. Could you do that, please? It would be much appreciated.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think this is my favorite CZcams channel
1:37 She's SO pregnant!
Awww, that one wolf that came over and booped the camera!! Great footage all round
So cool to see those eyes coming out of the darkness on that one.
What subspecies of wolves are they?
Grey wolf (Canis lupus)
@@hyenaboy7504 But what kind of subspecies are they, since they're in Minnesota.
@@sonicbaseballzoodreams Not sure, tbh. I'm not really familiar with all the subspecies, tbh.
@@hyenaboy7504 Because the gray wolf has many subspecies; all of them are super close relatives all belonging to the genus canis. While there are most wild dog species that belongs into the genus Canis too.
Looks like the deer population has been depleted
My home is beautiful in its biodiversity.
Aren't bears supposed to be hibernating in the winter?
That's what is called a real game trail.
WOW cry wolf
