Wolf Shows Playful Interest in Grizzly Bear's Meal
A wolf seemed super keen to get a piece of a bison carcass from a grizzly bear, footage by a nature photographer in Yellowstone National Park shows, but the bear seemed unimpressed by its antics as it bounced around.Trevor LaClair said he filmed the scene in April 2023, when the bear pulled the carcass from a frozen pond.“Two of the wolves approached the grizzly. One of the wolves got too close and the bear lunged at it as a warning. However, the wolf viewed it as an opportunity to potentially lure the bear away and began play bowing and bouncing around,” LaClair wrote on Instagram.“After a while, the grey wolf gave up and laid down nearby, waiting patiently for a piece of meat,” LaClair added. The grizzly eventually left and the wolves were able to get their turn.According to the National Wildlife Federation, a wolf will dance and bow if it is feeling playful.

Berlin Zoo Welcomes Newborn Giraffe
A zoo in Berlin has welcomed the arrival of a baby Rothschild giraffe.Tierpark Berlin said the almost six-foot-tall newborn was “still a little wobbly on its feet, but nonetheless in great shape.”The baby giraffe was born to 10-year-old Amalka, the zoo said, her fourth calf in all. The new arrival brings to nine the total number of giraffes at the zoo.Rothschild giraffes are endangered, with only 1,400 remaining in the wild, the zoo said.The zoo’s mammal curator Maren Siebert said, “Rothschild giraffes are threatened in their native Kenya and Uganda, primarily by illegal hunting and the expansion of agriculture.”“The fragmentation and destruction of habitats has also led to the Rothschild giraffe being eradicated in almost its entire former range,” Siebert said.
