  • For over 50 years researchers from Michigan Technological University have been studying the relationship between wolves and moose on Isle Royale, located in the middle of Lake Superior. This long term study continues to surprise us with new discoveries on how the natural world works. Hear the latest news from Assistant Professor John Vucetich, and learn more about why the fate of Isle Royale wolves may be in jeopardy.

      it’s different with science, these guys studied a specific place for over 50 years. if your teacher wants to teach you about how this study applies to what you’re learning about, the date doesn’t matter. using an account of how the world was from 5 years ago to prove a point about today just doesn’t work(especially when there is plenty of recent resources around the subject)

    I am currently living near Lake Superior and from what I understand from going to school here and talking to people, the weather is affected tons of animals. Parasites are being able to survive the warmer winters, and animals that were strictly from S-Ontario are now moving North at a very fast pace. There is so much to look into with wildlife management, it is a very hard job indeed.

    For any people that do not know, Isle Royale is located just east from the border of Minnesota. We have had a couple very cold winters since this video was release. Minnesota's wolf popular has increase substantially in the last few years. I would love to see an update on how the wolf and moose population is doing at this time.

      I know it's been a long time since you commented, but the wolf population from this video did end up dying out. However, they had decided to reintroduce wolves back to the island by transplanting some from the mainland. When I was there last month, they were at 28 wolves.

    recently saw a documentary on the rise and fall of the pride of lions in the Masai Mara called the marsh pride...The Isle Royale wolves come across to me similarly to the marsh pride lions but in reverse. In the case of the marsh pride, the reason those lions ultimately declined was due to an increase in contact with humans and subsequent conflict with humans, whereas, in the case of the Isle Royale, human involvement might be their best chance (a much-needed conservation intervention, if you will)

    My answer
    Many wolves around this area are born with deformities that prevent their proper and natural interaction, they are far removed from the rest due to living on an island, and due to issues of scarcity of food resources for the moose, and the decline of these natural resources due to climate change caused by humans, the wolves have had nothing to feed causing a depression of malnutrition around the area.

    Moose and Wolf populations are very much connected. Wolves actually help the moose genetics and health because they remove the weaker animals from the area. Wolves try to only take down the weaker moose because they will expend to much energy taking down a healthy moose and will not acquire the energy they lost from a single meal. The wolves would out-compete themselves before the moose population would have time to crash.

    Moose population has exploded on the island as wolf numbers have dropped (1,600 moose estimated last winter, likely over 2,000 now with new calves and only two wolves left). So much for the climate change theory. I'd say the wolf population has played a huge role. Meanwhile, in northern Minnesota, where there are thousands of wolves, the moose population is in jeopardy. Climate change? How about thousands of wolves!

    I'm not a scientist but did anyone ever think the moose population was maybe nearly devoured by the wolves??? Seems a little more likely than weather. the max amount of wolves there would have eaten quite a few moose a day when they were at there peak. Just throwing it out there. I do realize it is a little easier to blame anything but the wolves for starving themselves out. Looks to me like no management is still worse then poor management.

    May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, & with His STRIPES we are HEALED."
    God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up & die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus & put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?

    I have emailed the NPS about this, and they are going to let nature take its course if in fact wolves go extinct on the island (which actually looks like it may happen). They basically have to because it is also a designated Wilderness Area and an international Biosphere. I hope wolves will stay. I would say introduce one or two just for the fact they can diversify the family DNA and have less deformities.

    Personally reintroducing wolves to isle Royal sounds cruel. What justification do they have? The last wolves died horrible deaths. And it has been well studied and documented. Disease, starvation, and inbreeding were the fate of the last wolves. They can leave 15 mile swim or across ice which many have fallen through the ice. If a common citizen let animals go on an island knowing such fates were in store . It would be cruelty to animals. This sounds more like a tourist attraction than scientific study. What do we expect to learn from this. What information justifies horrible deaths or inbreeding.

    • @hyenaboy7504
      @hyenaboy7504 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to control what happens in nature. The whole point of the reintroduction was to restore balance to the ecosystem there. Wolves were reintroduced into Yellowstone, and nobody considered that "cruel" to the wolves, which means reintroducing wolves into Isle Royale also isn't cruel.
      Disease and starvation are both parts of nature, and they happen all the time to literally every single species out there.
