INTERNATIONAL FALLS, Minn. The researchers at the Voyageurs Wolf Project have hit another home run for folks who like learning about wolves, this time retrieving the first known video from a collar camera placed on a live wild wolf.
Lone wolf No. V089, not a member of any pack, was trapped last spring near the Ash River and fitted with a GPS collar, as are dozens of wolves being studied by researchers.

(FOX 9) - Researchers with the Voyageurs Wolf Project in northern Minnesota showed off their first-ever wolf collar camera footage.
They fitted a GPS collar camera to a lone wolf last spring. The camera captures 30 seconds of video at the top of every hour, for 42 consecutive days.
The cameras captured more than four hours of the wolf eating fish and deer, watching birds, walking through the woods, and of course, sleeping.
