Wolves

Wolves are the moose population's primary natural predators. The US government has periodically deployed wolves to reduce the moose population because of their lengthy history of hunting and killing moose.

While a wolf cannot compete in size with a moose, it makes up for this with intellect and teamwork. It is quite difficult for moose to avoid being killed by this moose predator since wolves almost typically hunt in packs. Wolves are extremely patient and smart animals, in addition to being aware of the value of power in numbers. If they can't find one, they will kill a moose over a period of days. They prefer to hunt the weaker animals in a herd. They may occasionally kill a moose if they find it to be weak after attacking it in a group a day or two earlier.

A moose in its prime may be able to outrun a pack of wolves despite having relatively little natural protections against them. However, wolves frequently capture the mooses that they pursue. The diet of wolves must include moose in order for them to live. In general, wolves prefer to prey on ungulates and larger animals. American scientists have spent more than 50 years researching the interaction between wolves and moose on Lake Superior in North America. Only moose and wolves live in the remote Isle Royale National Park in Michigan. Both species' populations have been carefully observed over time and have fluctuated greatly. But by 2018, wolf numbers had drastically decreased, necessitating the introduction of more wolves into the community.
