Watch: Yellowstone Wolf Gives Trail Camera A Free Cleaning
The Rocky Mountain Wolf Project recently shared video footage showing a wolf in Yellowstone National Park licking the lens of a trail camera.
"Just a short clip of some wild wolves from Yellowstone, courtesy of our colleagues at the National Park Service," the RMWP stated March 27 on Facebook.
The footage shows a lead member of a wolf pack become curious about the camera before stopping to lick the device. Several other wolves – apparently healthy, with beautiful winter coats – are shown trotting past the camera.
The footage was originally shared in 2020 by Yellowstone National Park to help commemorate wolves residing inside the park for 25 years, after their reintroduction to the Rockies.

Shared from FacebookThat effort began when 41 wild wolves from Canada and northwest Montana were released inside the park. Presently, about 100 wolves reside inside park boundaries, with hundreds more in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

Back to trail cameras: Wolves are not the only animals curious about the motion-sensor devices.
In December 2022 we featured a clip showing a coyote's animated response after encountering a trail camera in Canada's Yukon Territory. In the footage, the coyote bows briefly before bounding away from perceived danger.
David Troup of Yukon Wildlife Cams stated: "Inevitably wildlife can detect peculiarities in their environment, whether it's by sight, sound or smell."
Last September, one of Troup's cameras captured footage of a grizzly bear acting much like the Yellowstone wolf.
Troup wrote on Facebook: "A family of grizzly bears find a camera and investigate the peculiarity in September, with a quick view inside mom's mouth included."

Expert Advice For Weary Wild / Wolves Fans To Survive Late Playoff Game Viewing
Chris Long KSTP
After both teams' playoff openers ran way past midnight, fans of the Wild and Timberwolves began what they hope is a long run of postseason excitement.
But, that would come with a lot of short nights of sleep, lots of morning coffee and battling with bleary eyes.
The first six playoff games – Games 1 through 3 – for both the Wild and Wolves have scheduled start times no earlier than 8:30 p.M. Central. Potential "slides" due to overruns of the games preceding the Wild and Wolves on network TV networks can push the actual start times even later.
It all adds up to late bedtimes and short sleeps for Minnesota fans who stick with all the games.
KSTP Sports checked in with Dr. Michael Howell, a sleep expert with M Health Fairview and the University of Minnesota Medical School, to get some advice for fans who will be living and dying through every late night game as long as the Wild and Wolves keep playing.

There will be no shortage of activity Friday night throughout the Twin Cities with a pair of playoff teams and a division-leading baseball club all in action less than 15 miles from each other.
The Minnesota Wild will continue their playoff series with the Dallas Stars at 8:30 p.M. At the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, while the Twins and Timberwolves will be playing in Minneapolis about a block from each other at Target Field and Target Center.
The Twin Cities are certainly buzzing ahead of Friday's slate of games, but it could also create a bit of unwelcom chaos when it comes to parking, especially in downtown Minneapolis where the Twins (7:10 p.M.) and Wolves (8:30 p.M.) games will overlap. Throw "Hamilton" in the middle of those two start times (8 p.M.) at the Orpheum Theatre, and it could be a recipe for a parking disaster.
"Take your time," said Jake Vernon, who is the senior vice president of ticket and sales for the Wolves. "Make sure you get here early. Game time is 8:30, so don't show up at 8:15 expecting to get a spot and get to the game."
There could be a slight overlap in St. Paul as well with the Saints continuing a homestand at CHS Field. First pitch is scheduled for 6:37 p.M., so the game could be over (or nearly over) by the time the puck drops on the Wild's 8:30 p.M. (more likely 8:50 p.M.) game.
The Wild and Stars are knotted at 1-1 heading into Friday's Game 3 at Xcel Energy Center. Minnesota was able to wrangle home ice away from the Stars by winning an overtime thriller in the series opener, but Dallas bounced back to win Game 2 in convincing fashion.
The Timberwolves are trailing 2-0 to the Denver Nuggets despite an inspiring second-half rally on Wednesday night. Minnesota erased a 15-point halftime deficit, but the Nuggets ran away in the fourth quarter to earn the win.
All four teams play again on Sunday, but in time slots that are a little more spread out with the Twins and Saints both playing early afternoon, the Wild at 5:30 p.M. And the Wolves at 8:30 p.M.
