in wild canids, or just clever puzzle-solving.<\/p>\n<p>Tool use, broadly defined as the deliberate manipulation of an object to achieve a goal, has been seen in domestic dogs, <a

Not so in free-living wolves, though they move mostly at twilight, making close observation rare.<\/p>\n<p>Ha\u00ed\u026bzaqv Guardians had noticed many crab traps dragged onto the beach, their netting mangled and bait missing. The wardens initially thought marine mammals might be to blame. Or maybe bears. Remote cameras not only revealed the real culprit, but also later captured similar, less conclusive glimpses of the same behavior in additional wolves.<\/p>\n<p>Whether this qualifies as tool use, however, remains a matter of debate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe definition is pretty elastic,\u201d says Artelle\u2019s coauthor Paul Paquet, an ecologist from the University of Victoria in Canada. He argues that the wolf\u2019s deliberate pulling of the buoy line \u2014 a multistep process involving repeated trips into the water to haul in the rope, tug by steady tug, until the trap surfaced \u2014 meets the spirit, if not the strict letter, of the term.<\/p>\n<p>But Benjamin Beck, a former curator at the Smithsonian\u2019s National Zoo in Washington, D.C., who wrote the <a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books\/about\/Animal_Tool_Behavior.html?id=n5XwAAAAMAAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">1980 textbook codifying the scientific definition of animal tool behavior<\/a>, says it falls short. Since the wolf did not establish or control the functional connection between the buoy, rope and trap, \u201cwe\u2019re talking about object use, but not tool use,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"color:gray; margin-bottom:0px; font-size:.9rem;\">Sponsor Message<\/p>\n<p>Still, the technical distinction shouldn\u2019t detract from the ingenuity on display, says evolutionary biologist Robert Shumaker, who leads the Indianapolis Zoo and coauthored <a href=\"https:\/\/www.press.jhu.edu\/books\/title\/12826\/animal-tool-behavior\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">updated versions of Beck\u2019s reference work<\/a>. The footage \u201cexpands our understanding of wolf behavior, that\u2019s for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Formal definitions aside, the act reveals a new dimension of canid cunning, says wildlife biologist Dave Mech from the University of Minnesota in St. Paul, who has studied wolves for more than 60 years. In the wolf\u2019s movements and focused persistence \u2014 buoy to rope, rope to trap, trap to food \u2014 Mech sees a clear grasp of cause and effect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe had to make a lot of connections there,\u201d Mech says, evidence that wolves \u201chave the mental abilities to perceive things like this that are out of their usual realm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For William Housty, a Ha\u00ed\u026bzaqv Hereditary Chief who directs the Heiltsuk Integrated Resource Management Department in Bella Bella, the behavior also resonates with his people\u2019s oral history. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hauyat.ca\/stories\/wolf-children.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">According to tradition<\/a>, one tribe within the Ha\u00ed\u026bzaqv Nation descends from a woman who gave birth to four wolf-children: beings who could shift between the two worlds of humans and wolves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s no secret how smart and sophisticated they are, because at one point in our history, wolves and humans had the ability to go back and forth to one another,\u201d Housty says. \u201cBut to capture it for the world to see is really amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One damp spring evening last year, a wolf hauled a crab trap ashore off the central Pacific coast&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":140097,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[111,139,69,147,406],"class_list":{"0":"post-140096","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-new-zealand","9":"tag-newzealand","10":"tag-nz","11":"tag-science","12":"tag-wildlife"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140096"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140096\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/140097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
