Two rare black wolves, believed to be siblings, were captured on video crossing a stream in a Polish forest. The SAVE Wildlife Conservation Fund Poland is studying their genetics by collecting scat from the area. The black fur likely results from a genetic mutation linked to domesticated dogs.
Typically, Poland's wolf population consists mainly of gray wolves, with black fur being uncommon in Europe. The sighting highlights the growing wolf population in Poland, which had nearly gone extinct by the 1950s. Conservationists aim to educate the public about living safely in wolf-inhabited areas.

The Imaginative Conservative: Richard Weaver: The Conservatism of Piety
Richard Weaver, born in 1910 in North Carolina, became a significant figure in the American conservative movement. Educated at the University of Kentucky and Vanderbilt, he was influenced by the Fugitive-Agrarians, particularly John Crowe Ransom. Weaver's notable works include "Ideas Have Consequences," which critiques modernism's departure from Platonic thought, and "The Ethics of Rhetoric." His philosophy emphasizes the importance of ideals, values, and a structured society, advocating for a return to the Platonic-Christian heritage.
Weaver believed that true conservatism is rooted in a dualism of material and transcendental realities, asserting that civilization thrives on a hierarchy of values. He viewed egalitarianism as detrimental, arguing that society's complexity and diversity should be celebrated. Weaver's work reflects a deep appreciation for the Western religious tradition, suggesting that man's quest for meaning is intertwined with a higher purpose beyond himself. His intellectual legacy continues to influence contemporary conservative thought.
