Outdoor Observations: Isle Royale wolf euthanized after showing a reliance on human food sources
Published: , in Outdoor News
Opportunistic. That best describes how most animals feed. While carnivores certainly will work a kill for dinner, if they can find an easier meal source from people, they’ll take it – again and again and again.
Apparently that’s what happened on Isle Royale National Park this summer, and in the end it resulted in the demise of a wolf there. The remote island, which is 45 miles long and 9 miles wide, rests in Lake Superior about 55 miles northwest of the Keweenaw Peninsula’s Copper Harbor. It’s accessible only by boat or sea plane.
