What to know about wolves in midwinter
From WTIP.org:
There have been a lot of wolf sightings around Cook County recently. WTIP has heard reports of wolf activity close to homes, and one attack on a dog.
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Large Carnivore Specialist Dan Stark told WTIP about typical wolf behavior in midwinter. He said two things are at play. It is breeding season, and some single juvenile wolves are “just trying to make it through the winter and find enough food to eat.” He added that mild winters can also give an advantage to prey during the winter, making finding enough food to survive tougher.
