The Red Wolf Fish (Erythrinus erythrinus) is a predatory freshwater species native to South America, known for its aggressive nature and striking reddish-brown coloration. It thrives in slow-moving rivers and flooded areas, often lurking near vegetation to ambush prey. Unlike some other wolf fish species, it stays relatively small, typically reaching around 10-12 inches in length, making it a manageable predator for experienced aquarists. However, it requires a well-secured aquarium with plenty

The red wolf fish (Erythrinus erythrinus) is a predatory freshwater fish found in South American rivers, known for its aggressive behavior and vibrant reddish hue. It is a solitary hunter, feeding on smaller fish, crustaceans, and insects, and is well-adapted to both fast-moving and stagnant waters. In captivity, they require spacious tanks and are best kept alone due to their territorial nature. #RedWolfFish #ErythrinusErythrinus #PredatoryFish #SouthAmericanFish #AggressiveFish #AquariumPredat

Watch the first ever video footage of wolves hunting freshwater fish (to our knowledge). Turn up the volume so you can hear the wolves chase, catch, and crunch spawning suckers! We (a collaborative group of researchers from Voyageurs National Park and Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology - Univ. of Minnesota) captured this nighttime footage near Voyageurs National Park with remote cameras in spring 2018. While wolves are known to hunt spawning salmon in marine coasts, this is one of the

This video gives a rare glimpse into the "fishy" proclivities of wolves in our area. The video was taken in spring just a short distance from a creek wolves have fished at for many years. This past spring was the 10th year we have documented wolves hunting and catching fish—a behavior that had not been documented in boreal systems such as ours until our work, in part, because it is a tough behavior to observe. What is particularly fascinating is that this wolf was not only carrying a fish but ca

Big takeaway from our newly-published research: wolves hunting and catching fish is almost certainly a widespread behavior in places similar to the Greater Voyageurs Ecosystem. That means wolves are very likely ‘fishing' in places like Wisconsin, Michigan, Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and beyond each and every year! We first learned of wolves hunting fish (spawning suckers) in 2017 when two wolves in the Bowman Bay Pack ‘fished’. We thought that was pretty neat and seemed like a very unique behavio
