Wolves Enjoy a Sweet Treat: Nectar and Pollination!

Ethiopian wolves, Africa's most endangered predators, surprisingly enjoy a sweet treat of nectar from torch lilies.

While primarily meat-eaters, these wolves lick the flower's nectar, inadvertently covering themselves in pollen.

This unexpected behavior suggests they may be pollinating these flowers, a first for a large carnivore.

This fascinating discovery highlights the complex relationships within even the most seemingly simple ecosystems.
