Which is a perfect combination because you&#8217;ve got a house and you also get  free food.  You just eat the beavers that are already there.    This is only a snapshot of that spring study period that we conducted.     Because in winter for example they are most likely not going to eat that much beaver because the beavers are obviously in their lodges deep down and unaccessible for wolves. So we are actually collecting scats as we speak right now and we&#8217;ll see what they eat in winter.   I assume it\u2019s more moose and deer than beaver in winter.   <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs Holger Bohm told the CONRAD Symposium on oil sands reclamation, the wolf diet is seasonal and animal hair found in wolf scats will show the difference between winter and spring.\n<\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>Syncrude\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLearn more at InnovationAnthology.com  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER   <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.syncrude.com\">Syncrude<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/SyncrudeLogo.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02013-03-21<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The <b>WHEC study on Wildlife Habitat Effectiveness and Connectivity<\/b> is collecting information on <b>wolves<\/b> in the Fort McMurray oil sands region.
