Coyotes, whose range is expanding, are now at the doorstep of South America.
The abandonment of crops and pastures allows the natural regeneration of bushes and forests and the recolonization of fauna.
Wolves are not bad – they’re just trying to survive in a world where they are unwelcome.
There’s a big difference between rehoming and abandonment.
The National Park Service is moving wolves to Isle Royale in Lake Superior to replenish a small pack on the island. Wolves prey on moose, which are overgrazing the island. It doesn’t hurt that they are charismatic.
As omnivores, dogs should be able to adapt well and manage on well prepared commercially available vegetarian diets as long as the essential nutrients they would normally get from meat are present.
An attack on a WA mine worker has highlighted the danger of wild dingoes, particularly when attracted by humans’ food - one of the factors that can make an attack by wild predators much more likely.
Tracking wild animals can provide lots of valuable data. New research suggests audio recordings of wild wolves can replace the typical radio collars, which can be expensive and intrusive.
When humans have conflicts with wildlife, the first reaction is often to cull them. But there’s little evidence to show that it works, and removing predators can even backfire and make things worse.
Dingoes increase cattle yields, mountain lions reduce car crashes and vultures eat organic waste: like them or not, predators help humans.
Wildlife hunts are supposed to be grounded in sound science, but new research casts doubt on this assumption.
Having movable eyebrows – and evolving beyond the Neanderthal ridge – may have played a crucial role in early human survival.
Some recent bad behaviour has been explained as being alpha but the scientist who coined the phrase discredits that theory. Instead, Prof. Sosteric suggests alphas are raised on toxic socialization.
A parasite found in coyotes, wolves and foxes is now spreading to dogs and their owners as its range expands across Canada.
Parents’ DNA try to manipulate one another in a bid to shape junior in their mould.
Legislation designed to protect wildlife is being rolled back or ignored in all sorts of ways in all sorts of places, according to a new global database of attacks on green tape.
Dingoes and wolves can help control destructive smaller predators, new research shows, but only if we encourage them across wide areas.
The species died out long before humans could properly study it.
Collective environmental guilt could be leading to a rise in werewolf sightings in the English countryside.
