... a fascinating article on the delicate balance between the wolf and moose populations on Isle Royale on Lake Superior's north-western side; reported by the National Examiner. As neither species was indigenous to the Archipelago it has been a fascinating ongoing biological study site for decades.
Well worth a read as it clearly indicates just what a delicate balance there is between conflicting species. Until the wolves arrived over an ice bridge, the moose population expanded so rapidly that they almost overgrazed the islands and starved to death. Perhaps its an example that could mirror what may happen as mankind's population continues to expand at an ever increasing rate?
