What a beautiful picture. Thanks for posting
Isle Royale National Park in the big lake, Superior, an island where the longest running wolf/prey (moose) study has been going on for a long time. Currently, there are three wolves left on the island and the moose population has soared, threatening vegetation. A couple three years ago, two or three wolves were found dead at the bottom of a mine shaft--they mined copper on the island, too, way back. Asked a guy who would know how they found their way down there...or couldn't they get out...or what? I don't recall what he explained to me...I think the bottom line was they are not sure. The powers that be are studying the issue and I imagine in ten years time they'll issue their findings, after repeated requests for more funds...which they'll get...and spend...and meanwhile maybe nature runs her course out on the island. There's enough wolves on the mainland, seems like it'd be relatively easy to round up some and transport them but what do I know.
