Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Two rare black wolves, likely siblings, were captured on video crossing a stream in a Polish forest, as reported by the SAVE Wildlife Conservation Fund. The footage, initially aimed at studying beavers, revealed the black wolves' presence that could shed light on genetic mutations. Black fur is largely rare in Europe due to reduced genetic diversity. The conservation group is now collecting scat samples to analyze the wolves' genetics, and they stress the importance of educating the public on coexisting with wolves, which are protected in Poland, having rebounded from near extinction in the 1950s.
