We expect in deeper snow the wolves will have a harder time moving. Then we expect that to change drastically when it starts melting and the surface of the snow will actually  freeze, because then wolves are actually known for being on top of the snow.  Which really gives them an advantage over  ungulates, with their  comparably small feet They will be crushing through the snow and that frozen surface and then getting stuck almost.  And then the wolves really have really good time.     It&#8217;s the peak time for wolves as far as hunting goes. <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs Holger Bohm presented at the recent <b>CONRAD<\/b> Symposium, findings from the WHEC study will help oil sands companies make better decisions in the development and reclamation of their projects.\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>\u00a02013-03-26<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHEC Project Coordinator <b>Holger Bohm<\/b> says preliminary data indicates  <b>wolves<\/b> travel along rivers or through river habitat about one quarter of the time.
