From TheWildlifeNews.com:
Much has been written about the horrific incident in Wyoming where a man named Cody Roberts intentionally ran over a young male wolf with a snowmobile, taped his muzzle shut, bound him, and brought the injured animal into the Green River Bar. There, the wolf was teased, taunted, and tormented for hours before being shot and killed.

Wolves and house cats have few similarities, except potentially a behavior-altering parasite.

Non-profits Think Wild and Cascadia Wild announced a partnership to gather data and work toward the conservation of rare carnivores in Central Oregon.
The program will target the marten, gray wolf, wolverines and Sierra Nevada red foxes, though Lanuza told the Source that any carnivore or animal appearing on the list of Species of Greatest Conservation Need, an outline of “at-risk” species with small or declining numbers, will draw interest in this program.
From Outlook Traveller:
A female Indian Wolf has welcomed seven healthy puppies at Pilikula Biological Park, marking an exciting first for the zoo. Officials are celebrating it as a major win for wildlife conservation, and the playful pups are already capturing the hearts of visitors who can’t wait to see them.

As the wolf population in Italy increases, officials have been forced to take drastic measures.
As Euronews reported, residents have shared a number of videos of wild wolves across social media. From Pesaro to Cesena, more cities are becoming hotbeds for wandering wolves.
From the Association of Zoos and Aquariums:
Over the past year, the SAFE Mexican Wolf program has worked to expand its reach to support successful Mexican wolf recovery. Established in 2023, the bi-national recovery program has worked with communities in both the United States and Mexico to support the species and, to date, has been instrumental in its reintroduction.

The Iberian wolf ( Canis lupus ) is listed as Vulnerable in the updated IUCN Red List of Mammals in Spain, according to an extinction risk assessment published this week by the Iberian Society for the Conservation and Study of Mammals (SECEM).
From The Wildlife Society:
Wolves and house cats have few similarities, except potentially a behavior-altering parasite. Toxoplasma gondii, also known as the mind control parasite, typically lives in felines but can infect all mammals and spread to new hosts through infected feces. Wolves (Canis lupus) act as a secondary host for the parasite.
From Science Daily:
Ravens have long been thought to follow wolves to find food, but new research shows they’re far more strategic. By tracking both animals in Yellowstone, scientists discovered that ravens memorize areas where wolf kills are likely and fly directly to those spots—sometimes from great distances. Rather than trailing wolves, they rely on learned patterns in the landscape. It’s a clever system that highlights just how intelligent these birds really are.
From Baker City Herald:
BAKER CITY — The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife has authorized state and federal agents to kill the three wolves remaining from a pack that has killed or injured cattle several times in the Keating Valley east of Baker City last fall and this winter.
The International Wolf Center uses science-based education to teach and inspire the world about wolves, their ecology, and the wolf-human relationship.
