Op het congres @WolvesBorders bespraken wetenschappers en beleidsmakers uit heel Europa de terugkeer van de #wolf. Ik ontmoette vier experts en vroeg ze waarom wolven zich thuis voelen op de drukke Utrechtse Heuvelrug.

Today’s sob story was Jack Rabe’s cougar from Yellowstone NP living with so many bears and wolves that it’s super compelled to bury its prey even when there is no substrate 🥹

Apparently he did that for 1 hour
