Wolf pack caught on camera in Romania’s Piatra Craiului Mountains

A fauna monitoring camera installed in the forests of Piatra Craiului Mountains has caught rare images of a wolf pack the other days. Romania’s state-owned forest management company Romsilva shared the video on Facebook. “The wolf, (Canis lupus), the largest species in the Canidae family, is a carnivore living in packs that has an important role in maintaining the ecological balance, and in maintaining healthy natural ecosystems,” Romsilva wrote on Facebook. The company also said Romania is home to one of the largest populations of wolves in Europe. About 5,300 such animals are estimated to live in local forests.
