| | Wolves from U.P., Minnesota to be caught, flown to Isle Royale | | In an effort to increase the wolf population on Isle Royale, as many as eight wolves will be captured and transported to the remote Michigan island during the next six weeks. A long-term goal is to relocate as many as 30 wolves, some possibly being captured in Canada. But why is there a push to repopulate a wolf pack on Isle Royale? A large moose population on the island has been a growing concern and, without a predator, the number of moose is likely to continue its growth. How will the wolves travel, you ask? Well, on float planes, of course. MORE ► Why ravens are disappearing from this Michigan island |
