Wolf & grizz fishing together.

[blacktimberwolf]

Enchanting video of a wolf fishing for salmon amoung some grizzlies, the vid's title is misleading as everyone gets on fine. .......there are some beautiful photos too at the end of the vid.

Sorry tried to embed video directly but has failed so here's the link...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYuQv0UysVw

Ah! I think I've got an article somewhere on a specific wolf pack that targets the salmon. If I recall they only ate the heads/brains and left the rest. I shall see if I can 'fish' it out. Hurr hurr!

Yes there is a parasite ( a worm I believe) in salmon that can be deadly to canines & some wolves, (particually in the coastal British Columbian rainforest,) have learned to eat just the heads where there is no parasite.

Fascinating. How do you think they leaned that the head was parasite free?

Copy the http address of the video you want to embed (usually in the top right of your screen). Start your message and at the point you want the video to appear click on the little film roll icon in the message toolbar In the box that appears paste the address and click OK and hey presto the vid is in place. NOTE until the message is actually posted the address will appear as the address with "[VIDEO]" sans speach marks at the fore and end of the address.

Hope this works,

From an iPad mate, is that why?
I did use the video icon bud, but comes up like this

 

[Goatboy]

Think so, iPads are a dark art to me I'm afraid. I try to avoid the apple - it's the original sin you know.

 

[luckylee]

If a mod could clear this up please, that would be great just want to try, will again tomoro from the mac.

Beautiful - thanks so much for the link. People make so many assumptions about how animals work together, or don't, and so often the assumtpions turn out to be mistaken and based on very incomplete observations. It's so good to see this video

i think the wolf has learned to hunt fish itself after watching and scavaging the remains left by the bear ..ie the head and guts -as the bears have learned to only eat the eggs of the salmon and or the the fleshy bits ............can,t see how they have learned what bits have worms in !!!!!

At a certain time the bears do the same thing. As it gets nearer to hybernating season they instintively concentrate on the highest fat content.

They don't. As in my above post they eat the whole fish early in the season but later switch to the fat bits (brains and skin) to store up fat for hybernation. They probably don't know why, it probably just tastes better to them (fatter/richer) later in the season.

Beautiful footage. Is it just me though? Or does that wolf look more like a coyote? He's awful thin (unmuscular) looking and long legged for a wolf. And traveling alone is an ordinary coyote trait whereas it's rare (if ever) in wolves.
