I remember the wolves circling you and Cali last year. This current pack seems to be quite large judging by their singing. Hope you and Cali are safe from them.

[@sway696]

I hear this every night here in Massachusetts, the coy wolves sound like they are having a grand ole party. They have multiplied here as of late. And they are relentless hunters and will not give up on an opportunity to eat. It's unfortunate that they seem to have figured out where people's small pets live. Small dogs and cats have fallen victim to this pack many times. They run right down the streets at 2 am looking for their next meal.

Having a female dog guarantees more reliable and balanced behaviour than a male dog. The only risk is that some male wolves will be attracted by the scent of her secretions when she goes into heat and then it is good to keep her locked up.

I'm sure they smelled Cali ... but more likely they are simply drawn in by the smell of Deer meat/hide ... and vocalizing to each other as they check out the area ...

Sound like they were proclaiming their territory in your area. When I lived on the old Federal land west of Brougham, Ontario we saw wolves. Largest one was a huge black wolf that crossed Highway 7, fifty feet in front of my car. Just me and the wolf on the road. He easily topped 100lbs and his back was higher than the hood of my Datsun. I came to a complete stop just marveling at his sheer beauty. We had had smaller wolves in the Cannington, Ontario area (North Durham Region) more like the size you have.

According to recent genomic research, eastern wolves, previously considered a subspecies of gray wolf, Canis lupus lycaon, actually represent a separate species (Canis lycaon). Algonquin wolves, also referred to as Eastern wolves, are classified as a “threatened” species. The wolves are found only in a handful of places, including Algonquin Park in Ontario, Canada. The Eastern wolf has disappeared from almost all of southern Ontario, largely as a result of loss of habitat through forest clearance and farmland development. Hybridization could also be a potential long-term threat to the genetic integrity of Eastern Wolf populations. Less than 500 Eastern wolves remain in the wild; most Eastern wolves live in central Ontario and western Quebec, and with the highest population densities found in Algonquin Provincial Park.

@@TheREALLibertyOrDeath Wolves along a river bank where deer would regularly graze is impacted as the soil becomes more firmer as the vegetation is not being eaten by the deer,it makes river bank erosion slow down causing the river to meander less and allows the river to get deeper in parts and small pools to form. Also wolves will prevent certain animals grazing in an area whilst they inhabit that area which causes the vegetation to prosper which can result in an increased biodiversity by giving food and shelter to a wider range of plants and animals. That’s just a few examples,Yellowstone reintroduced wolves in the 90’s and they’ve made an impact on biodiversity there.

I wonder if you will have enough ingredients to make your own one day and stock them all up. I guess instead of wrappers just wrap them up in aluminum foil and have a whole shelf/drawer/bin full of them. I haven't made any homemade candy bars and all yet but it's something I've been wanting to do. I like rice crispies in them. The blueberries could go in them. I read that there are wild chestnuts in that area. They have vitamin C. Nuts are important. I also read Almonds are good for your spine. Various other things as well. I drink ginger ale alot.

Where I lived in Montana near Yellowstone, the environmentalists found it necessary to re-introduce wolves to the park, which is of course surrounded by towns, ranches and livestock. The enviros pretended it wouldn't be a problem, as if the wolves would somehow stay in the park, anything to get what they wanted in their ideological zeal. But they were not actually the original type of wolves that were native there, they were larger Canadian wolves that they brought in. The wolves would eviscerate over a dozen sheep in a night now and again at nearby ranches and leave them to die. In other words, they would rip their guts out while they were alive. I am not anti-wolf, just realistic. They are fascinating, and incredibly brutal. Later, I frequented a wolf rescue facility. The alpha male was a large older wolf. He could be almost friendly, letting someone he knew scratch his belly, or turn on you in a split second. Before too long, the others killed him. Must've been a horrific and very sad sight. I suppose they killed him because he was getting old.

Those wolves are pretty scary. Here in nova Scotia we have alot of coyotes. Calie knows whats going on. Thanks for sharing shawn

Get a Donkey! They'll scare off wolfs like nothing else.

[@davidduchesne4981]

Very true. I have a donkey on my farm ( Jack is his name) to protect the entire farm. Even strangers are not welcome . A donkey will kill coyotes and wolves. Very loyal pet.

[@robertspies4695]

Could the smaller wolves you are seeing be wolf-coyote hybrids?

[@bobobrien8968]

Such an eerie but awesome sound. I live near the outskirts of a small city in South Eastern Ont., and every year in late fall I’ve been lucky enough to hear a pack of what I think are coyotes or hybrids, moving about a mile south of me where there’s more woods and fields. It’s more of a higher pitched yelping of several of them. It gets the neighbourhood dogs going but it doesn’t last more than a couple of minutes. It raises the hair on the back of my neck but I really enjoy that I get to hear them. Same thing happens with great horned owls. At least once a year, I’m in the right place at the right time. There’s always 2 calling to each other near my yard. Fabulous.

We have a pack of 7 wolves that are around where my cabin is in NW Ontario, we see them once in a while but not last year because there are no deer around, but we hear them howling I had a encounter with one of them, It was about 20 yard from me at my cabin it kept watching me as it passed by but never bothered me.

Wow, glad Cali stays close to you when wolves are about. Two against a pack is not even odds at all. Usually the largest wolf is the beta but not always. Each of the wolves has their place, and they follow the alpha, so hope the alpha doesn't have eyes on Cali or you. I think Cali hasn't forgotten when she had that seizure, and you were there for her and cared for her. She has only barked a couple of times on videos, that I remember. Glad she stays close to you, and you are prepared. Praying for you and your family.

[@danlisowski]

Excuse the perhaps obvious question (uk city dweller), what would the wolves do to Cali? Will they fight or something much more serious? And do they pose a risk to you?

[@phillee2814]

They'd kill her, as they would regard her as competition for similar prey.

[@eugenedewet1157]

Wow thanks for sharing this incredible video with the howling sound inthe background. the sound so clear.... please keep Cali save ( she is so alert) and I was so glad to see you took some fire power with you. GOD blessings and prayers for a peaceful joyous Xmas from New Zealand.

That was a kind of a nice symphony on your property, amazing imho. That's what Canadian wilderness is all about, an amazing scenery and the wild animals. God bless your soul, a true experience of a nature.
