Re: "Wolf behavior undeterred by tailings ponds and pit mine

Have you seen the documentary "Radioactive Wolves"? It's a great resource of information regarding the wildlife in the radioactive zone in Chernobyl.

But yes, nature always finds a way to bounce back from human impacts :]

Re: How would walking a wolf on a leash feel like?

Going along the line of Isela's response, the big difference from walking a similar-sized dog would be in the wolf's behaviour. A wolf would act more unpredictably in an urban setting than a domestic dog. But experienced handlers and conditioned wolves like the one Isela mentioned make it possible....

Re: How would walking a wolf on a leash feel like?

- Moved topic to Wolf Q&A - I would say, if the wolf is highly socialized ( not tame) and comfortable with the person and action in general, it would be much like the act of walking a larger dog. Wolf Park in Battleground, IN has an annual event called Walk for Wolves, where they bring out a certai...

Re: Why wouldn't wolves and dogs normally "get along"?

The fact that they are similar species doesn't particularly play a role in this situation. Wolves are territorial, and so will feel the instinctive need to defend their territory from other canines. They will also attack coyotes and foxes if they see either of the two on a carcass the wolves took d...

Re: Where the Wild Elk Are

I've really been enjoying seeing the realistic approaches taken toward the new version of the game. I'm excited to see the new elk roaming system implemented, and it should call upon a greater need to use scent view this way c:

"Wolf behavior undeterred by tailings ponds and pit mines"

Excerpt from ScienceDaily.com Wolves do not avoid areas of human disturbance when hunting moose in Alberta’s oil sands region. New UAlberta research shows that predation rates of moose have increased near areas of high human disturbance, but low human activity, such as tailings ponds and pit mines....

Re: How big is a wolf's heart?

It depends. There are average heart sizes for each organism (that contains a heart), but heart sizes will also vary within each species. The factors that influence heart size is based on gender, age, height, and weight. Source: http://news.heart.org/new-research-offers-a-formula-to-determine-normal...

Re: I Smell Elk!

I love the throwback in the title to the original WolfQuest trailor ;] This looks great! I'm loving this new realistic approach for the scent view. Wolves are heavily reliant on their sense of smell in the way that we are heavily reliant on our sight, so it makes sense to have scents play a larger ...
