The Aldabra Giant Tortoise is native to the Aldabra Islands in the Indian ocean. It is one of the largest species of tortoise on the planet and is also one of the world’s longest living animals, with some reaching 255 years old.

Off the east coast of Africa we saw a colony of the Pemba flying fox. It is a bat known for its massive size, charming face, and comeback story. They are only found on this island, and they live in the trees and among mangroves in large groups. They roost during the day and emerge at dusk to forage for fruit with their most popular meals consisting of figs and mangoes.

Pemba flying foxes are essential pollinators to their tropical habitat. They consume fruit, leaves, flowers, and nectar, and the seeds that go through their system and the pollen that sticks to their fur helps to disperse plant life across the island.

Wolves “talk” to each other through vocalizations, scent markings, facial expressions and body postures.

Wolves bark, whine, yap and growl, but their most-famous vocalization is their howl.

Individuals have distinctive howls and can be identified from a distance. An exhibition called WOLVES! Shape-shifters in a Changing World opens on March 3rd at the @museumofnature . It explores the evolution and adaptations of these charismatic animals through specimens, cultural stories, video and scientific research that highlights studies by museum experts Kamal Khidas, Ph.D., and Danielle Fraser, Ph.D.

The domestication of wolves Eighty thousand years

The domestication of wolves

Eighty thousand years ago, all wolves were wild.

When humans and wolves began sharing the same landscape, contacts became more common.

Some wolves started stealing food scraps near human settlements.

Over time, tamer wolves and humans developed mutually beneficial relationships.

The wolves guarded human camps and helped with hunting. They got food and shelter in return.

Eventually, these wolves became domesticated. They bonded with humans and evolved into the dogs that we live with today.

Wolves are one of the most-broadly distributed mammals on Earth. Their ability to adapt helps explain their success across a variety of environments.

However, the rapid rate of environmental change threatens this important species.

Can wolves keep pace with our changing world?

Last year, in West Yellowstone, we had a few amazing encounters with the Wapiti Lake wolf pack. They howled to one another, sending goosebumps down my spine.

Now, on March 3rd, an upcoming exhibition called WOLVES! will open at the Canadian Museum of Nature. This exhibition explores the evolution and adaptations of these charismatic animals through cultural stories, compelling imagery, and scientific research (including studies by Canadian Museum of Nature scientists Kamal Khidas and Danielle Fraser). The exhibition asks whether wolves will be able to adapt in a rapidly changing environment. My wolf images from BC and Yellowstone will be highlighted throughout this important work with thanks to @wallsizzle printing on @realchromaluxe #wallsizzle

They have adapted to Yellowstone winters by growing large paws with fur between their toes helping them to walk on top of deep snow. They will also use their slender bodies to hunt prey underneath the snow in tunnels created by critters like voles and mice. #
