The dying moose herd in northwestern Minnesota

A researcher says the moose population in northwestern Minnesota may not survive. The results of a five-year study of Minnesota moose mortality, show conclusions that are not encouraging for wildlife managers.

In the mid 1980s, wildlife managers started to notice moose in northwest Minnesota were dying in larger than usual numbers. They appeared to be diseased and starving despite abundant food supplies.
Fewer moose being born, and rampant disease among the population doesn't bode well for the future.
