Another #RZSSGoesWild video about 💩 #PooScience!

👩‍🔬 @HimalayanWolves became curious about the Himalayan 🐺 Locals knew that the wolves had moved higher up in the mountains, but scientists new very little about these unusual wolves...

@rzss
Are Himalayan wolves just another wolf?
Genetic data suggests they are not quite grey 🐺, nor are they African 🐺. Himalayan 🐺 are a unique genetic lineage ( http://bit.ly/HimWolfPhylo ) with genetic adaptations that enable them to thrive at high altitudes ( http://bit.ly/HimWolfAdaptations)
What do Himalayan 🐺 like to eat? Mostly blue sheep🐑, but also marmots, woolly hares, pika, and if they can find them, Tibetan gazelles.

But they prefer wild prey to livestock – valuable knowledge for the people who live with Himalayan 🐺 on their doorstep.
Just like other wolves, Himalayan wolves live in family packs – cute Himalayan 🐺 pup video alert!
