I was sitting on top of a beaver lodge taking pictures of waterfowl when I first saw this wolf trying to catch a beaver farther up the lake shore.  The wolf quickly lost interest and started hunting for a small rodent about 30 meters away from me as I lay down on my stomach to partially hide.  When I started taking photos the wolf heard the shutter, turned and decided I was much better than hunting for rodents! It stalked towards me and when it was only a few meters away I stood up, the wolf stopped, turned and ran back into the trees.

The wood frog, which is able to survive above the Arctic circle, burrows under dead leaves and then it will stop breathing, their hearts stop beating and much of their body becomes frozen. An antifreeze they produce keeps liquids from freezing inside their vital organs and killing them!
