Scientists Find Out Why Moose Population’s Slipping « CBS Minnesota
Flashback: This seems odd: With alleged warm weather allegedly causing the Minnesota moose population to plummet, we're also told that on an island 18 miles away, the moose threaten to "become overabundant and decimate plants and trees"
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Scientists are trying to figure out why the moose population in Minnesota has gone down as much as 65 percent.
The answers aren’t good news.
The Minnesota DNR captured 49 moose calves and fitted them with GPS transmitter collars. Days after finishing their work, 22 of the newborn moose had already died.
The DNR said most were killed by bears and wolves.
