Arsenal led 2-0 through Bukayo Saka and Piero Hincapie, but Wolves fought back with Hugo Bueno’s curler (61') and Tom Edozie’s stoppage-time equaliser deflected in by Riccardo Calafiori, earning a 2-2 draw. The result tightens Arsenal’s Premier League advantage over Manchester City to five points with a game in hand, while Wolves stay bottom and flirt with Derby County’s record-low points.
Arsenal blew a 2-0 lead and were held to a dramatic 2-2 draw by bottom-side Wolves, raising fresh questions about their mental toughness in the title race. With City narrowing the gap, the result sharpens the pressure on Arteta’s team ahead of crucial London derbies, as a stoppage-time own goal by Tom Edozie salvaged a point for Wolves and prompted warnings that Arsenal must improve their decision-making and performance when leading.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admitted the 2-2 draw with Wolves was a disappointment and took responsibility for a second-half performance that didn’t match top-level standards. He said the team must swallow the frustration, respond to criticism, and channel the emotions into a stronger showing when they face Tottenham in the north London derby, stressing that the next action on Sunday is what matters.

Six years of remote cameras and kill data from Yellowstone show that after wolves were reintroduced, cougars avoid wolf‑kill zones and favor deer, aided by terrain that allows escape. The elk portion of cougar diets fell from about 80% (1998–2005) to 52% (2016–2024) while deer rose from 15% to 42%; younger, smaller females hunt more deer, older and larger males still tackle elk. The findings highlight how two top predators can reshuffle prey choices and stress the importance of prey diversity for coexistence, with implications for wildlife management where wolves and cougars coexist.
A nine-year GPS-based study in Yellowstone shows wolves and cougars coexist mainly through avoidance and shifts in prey, rather than direct confrontations: wolves often take over prey carcasses that cougars have killed, while cougars switch to smaller prey and use escape terrain to minimize encounters. Diets shifted over time (wolves increasing bison and deer, elk share dropping; cougars moving from elk to deer), and cougar deaths occurred primarily when escape terrain was unavailable. Wolves suffered deaths mostly from natural causes or human actions, with no cougar-caused fatalities recorded. The findings suggest coexistence hinges on behavior and landscape, not dominance, informing wildlife management as these predators recolonize the region.
A genomic analysis recovered woolly rhino DNA from the stomach of a mummified ice-age wolf pup dating to about 14,400 years ago in Russia, offering a rare direct glimpse into the species’ gene pool as it was near extinction. The study suggests the woolly rhino’s final decline occurred rapidly after a population collapse likely linked to climate warming, and the sample was initially mistaken for belonging to a cave lion.
Three Preston dogs were confirmed as wolf-dogs (about 49% grey wolf and 51% Czechoslovakian wolfdog) and are now at Wolves of Wiltshire; UK ownership hinges on generation distance from a wolf, with first/second generations requiring a license and many breeders controversial. Wolf-dogs are challenging, needing space, experienced handlers, and wolf-like instincts, making them unsuitable as pets, unlike domestic dogs which descended from an extinct wolf lineage.
Despite common perceptions of conflict over wolf management in the U.S., most Americans hold positive views of wolves, and polarization is often driven by social identity and assumptions about others' attitudes. Recognizing shared values and correcting misconceptions can help bridge divides and promote coexistence.
Ruben Amorim expressed frustration over Manchester United's lack of fluidity in their 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers, citing issues with creativity and connections on the pitch, and highlighted the challenges of playing against a defensive setup, while emphasizing the need to recover and focus on upcoming matches.
The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone has been linked to an ecological cascade that benefits the ecosystem, but the extent and causes of this impact are still debated among scientists, with some questioning the strength of the trophic cascade and the role of wolves versus other predators.
Florian Wirtz scored his first goal for Liverpool in a match against Wolves, showcasing his creativity and settling into the Premier League, with positive comments from teammates and analysts about his potential and performance.
Florian Wirtz scored his first goal for Liverpool, helping them secure a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, which temporarily moved Liverpool into fourth place in the Premier League. Wolves remain at the bottom of the table with a record-breaking poor start to the season.
The article explores whether coyotes can replace wolves in eastern North America, concluding that while coyotes share some ecological roles with wolves, they cannot fully substitute for them, especially in controlling large herbivores like moose and beavers. Human activity has led to wolf decline, and coyotes have expanded into their range, but differences in diet and predation mean they perform different ecological functions. Complete ecosystem restoration to pre-human conditions is unlikely, but understanding these dynamics helps manage wildlife populations.
