Hours later, the beaver's head was seen being carried around.
Brutal trail camera footage showing a wolf killing a beaver — with the beaver’s head later seen being carried around by another wolf — is only the second-ever recording of this type of hunt.on September 17. Taking to YouTube, the wildlife researchers called it “the absolute trail camera jackpot.”
The beaver and wolf disappear out of the frame and the researchers may never have been certain of the beaver’s fate if it wasn’t for another clip — 19 hours after the attack — from the same camera which shows a different wolf walking through the frame with the beaver’s head in its mouth. “The beaver put up a valiant fight and at a few points was only a few meters from the safety of the water. If the beaver could have just freed itself for a few moments, it might have lived…There appears to be a thin margin for beavers between life and death when on land.”
The barbed wire is there to collect hair samples: when a beaver crawls over the wire, tufts of hair get caught on it and researchers can analyze these samples.
