Two unusual black wolves that are assumed to be brothers and sisters were taken on the camera that cross a stream in a Bos in PolandAccording to a nature conservation organization.
The rare observation, which was recorded on video last year, has encouraged the Save Wildlife Conservation Fund to pick up SCAT droppings in the forest in which the wolves were observed, so that scientists can learn more about the genetics of the black wolves.
The Associated Press reported that the video camera was set up by Joanna Toczydlowska, a project coordinator at the nature organization, to study beavers.
But she was surprised when she rated the recorded images and saw Wolves instead. She decided to leave the camera in place to learn more about the rare animals.

“It’s something new and unusual,” Toczydlowska The Wire Service said.
In one of the recorded clips, A Gray wolf and black wolf crossed a stream in the forest, although slowly when the water was almost to their belly. Once on the other hand, the two wolves jumped on the shore before they walked away.
In another clip in the fall, two black wolves and a gray wolf were seen that crossed the same stream.
The researchers would not disclose the location of the observations to protect the rare wolves.

In Poland, the majority of the Almost 3,000 wolves are gray with red or black accents.
The black fur is probably of a genetic mutation that took place with domestic dogs thousands of years ago.
In Europe, dark fur is rare, although in Yellowstone National Park in the United States has at least half of the wolf population black fur.

Toczydlowska said that the two black wolves were probably brothers and sisters and about a year old, which they supposed to travel on the basis of the fact that wolves travel in families and the two were about 66 pounds. She also said that at least one of the black wolves was a man.
Wolves were almost extinct in Poland in the 1950s, although the population has been restored in recent years, especially in the central part of the country.
Toczydlowska and her colleagues help the public to inform about how they can live safely in areas that are inhabited by Packs of Wolves.

“For people it is a new phenomenon,” Roman Gula, head of the Wolf Monitoring Project of the organization, told the AP. “Education is one of our most important, important goals.”
