    Just came back from a treacherous pre-dawn hike in the #woods. Started off with a wintery mix of #snow and freezing rain. A lot of the snow on the roads melted just enough to be coated in black ice. Once on the trails, there was enough old crunchy snow for stable traction. Barely any wind and just the soft pitter-patter of the now #rain tapping the snow.Incredibly peaceful...until I crossed paths with *five* coyotes. And that was my cue to turn back. The first two scattered when they saw me. The remaining three were hidden in the brush about 15 feet from me. Their eyes lit up like Times Square when I scanned the area with my headlamp.Here in #Massachusetts the #coyote is a wolf/coyote hybrid. They are the size of German Shepherds and do *not* fear #humans.On a side note: I run a dual #headlamp system. A 1,000 #lumen one mounted on my head and an 850 lumen one secured to my sternum strap as a flood light. This flexible #system gives me two *independent* #light sources. Had I only been using the flood light I wouldn't have even seen them.Good morning!#hike #goodmorning #nature #health #animals

    I wish everyone a happy and healthy start into the #NewYear 2026. In my New Year's Eve post, I here report on aspects of #dog #behaviors and its relationships to humans. #Herding #dogs, for example, have the specific ability to #communicate not only with #humans but also with their grazing #livestock. H. Jeong et al. (2025) addressed the "#Genomicevidence for behavioral adaptation of herding dogs" in their study.© #StefanFWirth 2025Reference https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adp4591#Photos© S.F.

    A new study just debunked one of the oldest myths about #wolves. Researchers in #Poland found that wolves are actually far more afraid of #humans than we are of them. When scientists played recordings of calm human voices in areas frequented by wolf packs, the animals fled more than twice as fast as they did when they heard barking dogs or bird calls. The findings show that wolves remain deeply wary of people. Researchers say this fear is understandable given how1/2https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/science/wolves-humans-fear-study.html?unlocked_article_code=1.qk8.fKJs.3lze0eh1YzhV&smid=em-share
