Pair of rare ****** wolves caught on camera in Polish forest by wildlife researchers

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Two rare ****** wolves, likely siblings, were spotted on camera crossing a stream in a

, a conservation organization said Sunday.

The unusual sighting, captured last year on a video camera set up by SAVE Wildlife Conservation Fund Poland project coordinator Joanna Toczydłowska, has prompted the organization to collect ***** (droppings) in the forest in the hopes of learning more about the ****** wolves’ genetics.

“It’s something new and unusual,” Toczydłowska told The Associated Press.

Toczydłowska initially placed the camera to study beavers. When she noticed she was recording wolves instead, she kept the camera there and collected the ****** wolf footage a few weeks ago.

slowly crossed a stream in the forest, the water nearly up to their bellies, before they leap onto the bank. A second clip, taken last fall, records two ****** wolves and a gray wolf fording the same stream.

Most of the 2,5000 to 3,000 wolves in Poland are gray with red or ****** accents. ****** fur comes from a genetic mutation that was likely in domesticated dogs thousands of years ago. The dark fur is rare in Europe due to a reduced genetic diversity, but at least half of

Because wolves travel in families and both ****** wolves were around 30 kilograms (66 lbs) — roughly the size of a ******* shepherd — Toczydłowska said they were likely siblings and roughly a year old. At least one is male.

from poaching and prevent misinformation about wolves from spreading.

Wolves were essentially extinct in Poland by the 1950s, but the population has been reintroduced in recent years, especially in central part of the country in the early 2000s. Toczydłowska and her colleagues teach other the public how to safely live in areas inhabited by wolfpacks.

“For people, it is a new phenomenon,” Roman Gula, head of the organization’s wolf monitoring project, told the AP. “Education is one of our major, major goals.”

The conservation fund

and asked for financial support to pay for the *****’s genetic testing to learn more about the ******-fur mutation.
