"This is most likely an Eastern Forest Wolf, one of the top predators along the Labrador Coastline. They're intelligent, tenacious, and exceedingly patient."
Lin Yu'an gently touched the edge of the footprint with his finger, the snow crystals were still clearly defined, showing no signs of being smoothed by the wind.
"The footprints are fresh, no more than three hours old."
This meant that while he was rejoicing on the Ice River, this lone Wolf was meticulously "visiting" his home.
He followed the footprints and found that the trail extended from the distant mountains and forests, circling around his shelter several times.
There were even signs of a stay and digging at the "snow well refrigerator" he used to store food.
Apparently, it smelled the stored food. After discovering it couldn't open the 55-gallon barrel buried deep under the snow and weighed down with heavy objects, the Wolf headed back towards the mountains.
