Scientists stunned as wolf ‘uses tools’ to gather food in the wild
Wolf caught-on-camera displaying never-before-seen behavior as it 'uses tools'
Scientists have uncovered never-before-seen behavior in wolves after one was filmed appearing to use a tool to gather food in the wild.
The footage was captured in the Indigenous Haíɫzaqv Nation Territory on the central coast of British Columbia.
The animal swam to a buoy marker, dragged it to land, and then reeled in an attached crab trap.
The wolf proceeded to eat the contents of the crab trap, showcasing advanced problem-solving skills.
Researchers from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry published the study, noting the sophistication of the wolf's actions.
