A pair of wolves, a black female and a white male, patrol their territory in a Canadian national park in the heart of winter.

My only anger towards wolves and bears is their devastating end effect on the moose population when their numbers are up.

Sadly, I've seen first hand a black bear stalk a pregnant cow and immediately run off with the calf after she gives birth. I've heard wolves do the same at times, but that's nature I guess.

@paulsballsify - yes, it is nature, and unfortunately people have become used to artifically high (and environmentally damaging) populations of herbivores and then worry when predators bringing them down to more natural levels. Wolves and moose worked it out for themselves for millennia by themselves, and will continue to do so.

@Sittingfox i thought the herbivores are lower now than they were a few hundred years ago.

[Sittingfox]

@shubroto81 - are you taking about populations? If so, white-tailed deer are at record levels in the east, and overpopulations of elk have caused substantial environmental damage in the Rockies, as have red deer in Scotland. Their numbers increased due to lack of predators, habitat alteration and (in some cases) artifical feeding.

They are so beautiful. I love Wolves, and I love seeing them living free. Thank you for sharing this with us. :) ^. .^

@Sittingfox yea populationwise i meant in the 1700s when the native americans lived the herbivores were much more numerous wern't they? i know buffaloes or bisons were more numerous despite having much more predators back then.

Anyone who HATES wolves must be STUPID or at least never saw how a wolf lives in any place I only love wolves because that are smarter than humans, brave, and have the howl that shows that they are not afraid people who have the spirit of any type wolf has the personality of that type of wolf

My parents recently bought a cottage near Algonquin Park, we often hear wolves up there and just this weekend we saw their tracks in the snow about 10 minutes walk from the cottage. We haven’t seen them yet, but our neighbours have.

@paulsballsify and here we go with the I am an adult and you are just a little kid speech

we have all heard it before

I was just stating that you can be angry about nature or just accept it an realize that if you mess with it, things are not going to go over well

you came across in a very angry tone

and seriously dude, an adult conversation on youtube? not even sure what that is referring to

[paulsballsify]

@Bubblehealer You are the perfect example of why an adult conversation cannot occur on Youtube. I'm sorry you couldn't deduce "anger" in this context meant "I just don't like that they stalk and kill the offspring of moose." It has nothing to do with humans, and I'm against the hunting of wolves.

Even my other comment is about how awesome they are and why people shouldn't worry about them.

You'll probably misunderstand this comment too, so why bother I guess.

[Bubblehealer]

@paulsballsify ok your anger towards them?

how about their anger towards us, humans have ruined many ecosystems and could care less about wildlife

your complaining about nature and the food chain

get lost you scrub
