Luna- Finding Treats

As the spring weather melts snow, the melt water congregates in the pond and will usually result in a light skim of ice on a cold April morning.  On this morning, Luna is investigating the many pieces of bone and hide that are uncovered with a spring melt.   We see a similar interest in Northern Minnesota roads and the congregation of scavengers cleaning up the winter deer-kills.  It’s not unusual to see wild wolves along the road risking the traffic noise in exchange for a free meal.  This winter we didn’t have a significant snow depth that would have made deer vulnerable to wolf predation, meaning that wolves are hungry coming into the pup whelping season.
