    This just in: car impacts with deer down by 50%, but deer becoming a snack to wolves at night is up 100%

        Just last week I was walking through a Finish forest late at night. I had heard some howling earlier in the night but hadn’t really thought about it in a while. So I’m walking along and I hear a twig snap and I freeze then BAM blinding light from like 10 feet away. This god damn wolf was standing 10 feet away from me holding a flashlight in its front paw. He apologized, said he though I might have been a deer, then told me to be careful and let me go on my way.

        Anyways we traded numbers real nice wolf that one, I think we’re going to go sauna together next week.

      You joke, but interventions like this are usually very carefully planned to avoid increased predation risk
