Two rare blacks Wolvesprobably brothers and sisters, they were observed on the camera crossing the UA flow Polish forestsaid the preservation organization on Sunday.
An unusual view, recorded last year on a video camera set by Save Wildlife Conservation Conservation Fund of Poland Joanna Toczydłowska, encouraged the organization to collect her feces in the woods in the hope that she would find out more about the Genetics of Black Wolves.
“It’s something new and unusual,” Toczydłowska told Associated Press.
Toczydłowska initially put the camera to study the beavers. When she noticed that she was shooting the wolves instead, she kept the camera there and collected the footage of the Black Wolf a few weeks ago.

In one clip, black wolf ia ia Gray Wolf Slowly crossed the stream in the forest, the water was almost to the abdomen, before they jumped to the shore. The second clip, shot last fall, records two black wolves and a gray wolf that forced the same stream.
Most of 2,500 to 3,000 wolves in Poland are gray with red or black accents. Black fur comes from a genetic mutation that was probably with domesticated dogs thousands of years ago. Dark fur in Europe is rarely due to reduced genetic diversity but at least half Vuk population has black fur in Yellowstone National Park In the United States.
Because wolves travel to families and both Black Wolves were about 66 pounds – about the size of a German sheepdog – Toczydłowska said they were probably siblings and for about a year. At least one is male.
The preservation organization, which has been overseeing wolves in Poland for 13 years, does not reveal the site of the forest Keep wolves from the pointed and preventing disinformation of wolves to expand.
Wolves in Poland were basically extinct in the 1950s, but the population has returned in recent years, especially in the central part of the country in the early 2000s. Toczydłowska and her colleagues teach other public how to safely live in areas inhabited wolves.
“It’s a new phenomenon for people,” said Roman Gula, head of the Wolf Wolf Tracking project for for AP. “Education is one of our main, main goals.”
Conservation fund announced a vision last week on Facebook And he asked for financial support to pay for genetic scat testing to learn more about the mutation of black fur.
