Seen Wolves!

Well, I feel very lucky to live in my area!

I live in Southern Ontario, right at the base of the Niagara escarpment, very close to the Bruce trail, in a city called Burlington.

I used to see the Wolves more often about 5 years ago, and I have not seen any since then.

When I did see them, they were alone, so i would see one at a time. Sometimes I would see them on the Soccer fields behind my house, and we would see Deer and other smaller animals too.

It was strange actually to see them because there are a lot of homes in the area, and I know they are very shy of humans. I always wondered if they maybe had become lost and ended up in the wrong neck of the woods!

They were a rare treat to see, but I did see them multiple times over a period of about 10 years, unfortunately, I have never observed a pack of Wolves in the area, only lone Wolves.

They would often just be walking across the large field behind my house.

I hope this helps and is of interest to other visitors to the site =)

Thank you Chrissy, for telling us about the Wolves near you

Wolf on Bruce Trail
by: Keiran

While walking on the Bruce trail on Sunday February 13th 2011, along the upper escarpment above Walkers Line, we came across fresh tracks in the snow.

They were too large for a Coyote. We kept walking and suddenly my girlfriend spotted him just below us he was very large he was off in a second we watched him into the distance.

We continued to walk and found the spot he went down the escarpment, and at that point we realized he was just in front of us the whole time we were following his trail.

It was an amazing experience. I've seen Coyotes up close and personal, and this was no Coyote it was too majestic.

Perhaps they were Coyotes?
by: NoriMori

Hi again! I thanked you before for sharing your experience (I'm the one who's writing a story).

I e-mailed someone at the Bruce Trail Conservancy to ask if Wolves live in or around the Bruce Trail.

The reply was that she had never heard of Wolves in that area, but that she has heard of Coyotes living in that area.

Perhaps what you saw was in fact a Coyote?

Maybe a Wolf in Beamsville
by: Anonymous

I'm so glad to hear that someone else sighted such a majestic animal.

I'm sure I saw male and female wolves in Beamsville.

I hope that is what it was - the male was bold and sitting like a dog and the female was hiding in the dead long grass.

I have also observed Beavers in Grimsby, Ontario, (I won't say where as some people .... you know!) and I have also destroyed over 100 Muskrat traps and have observed the beauty of Bald Eagles on the Grand River.

I sure hope others have these wonderful experiences!

Thank you!
by: NoriMori

Thanks so much for this. I live in Burlington as well! I'm writing a story, and needed to know if there were wolves
a) in Burlington, and more importantly
b) in or around the Bruce Trail.

Who knew I'd find the answers to both questions on the same webpage? I certainly didn't think I'd find anything about a wolf sighting in Burlington specifically!

Thanks a lot, I hope that was a magical experience for you, and that you might see one again sometime.

Who would think ....
by: Suzy Q

Who would think that there would be Wolves so close to cities - Burlington isn't where I would think they would live, but I guess as long as there is food for them, and places to hide, they will be there.
