WILD WEDNESDAY: Amazing video of wolf pups in the wild

Wolves are normally elusive creatures that avoid contact with humans and in this week’s episode of Wild Wednesday, WildSafeBC shows us some amazing footage captured by trail cameras showing a mother wolf with its young pups.

Wolves account for approximately 400 calls to the Conservation Officer Service every year, according to WildSafeBC.

If you encounter a wolf showing signs of aggression in the wild, you can use bear spray as a deterrent. WildSafeBC also recommends being assertive by throwing rocks, yelling, making yourself appear large and threatening.
