For the second year in a row, the island’s wolf population remains a mere two.

Moose have increased, and the high number of calves and low predation rates suggest that the population will continue to boom.

Release of the winter study marks the 59th year of monitoring wolves and moose on Isle Royale, the longest running predator-prey study in the world.
