Have you ever wanted to watch a wolf hunt freshwater fish? Thanks to the Voyageurs Wolf Project from the University of Minnesota, you can see it on YouTube any time you like. The researchers with the project trapped V089, a lone wolf, sedated him, and then strapped on the Vectronic-Aerospace camera collar.

(“The wolf’s beard needed a little trim... lesson learned,” one video caption says.) They found that V089 was clever enough to hunt near a beaver dam, going after fish that were trapped by the obstacle. “Up until recently, wolves hunting and killing freshwater fish is something that people didn’t even really know happened,” researcher Thomas Gable told Gizmodo .

Disney’s latest princess won’t have to change her appearance to hang out with the other girl, though that’s mainly because she looks almost indistinguishable from the company's second most recent princess, Rapunzel — who, come to think of it, bears a striking resemblance to Sleeping Beauty. Traditionally, Disney princesses were feminine, passive and spent a lot of time doing housework and harmonizing with cartoon animals. Since the appearance of Mulan and Merida, things have gotten a little better. But when you look at the Disney princess lineup, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty are still front and center: two perky, Caucasian blondes whose movies came out in the 1950s. For this reason, many … [Read more...] about Tumblr Users Give Disney’s Latest White Princess a Makeover
