Moose Numbers Stable In Park


Wildlife biologists say the moose population is holding relatively steady in Voyageurs National Park.

Park officials estimate 46 animals, based on an aerial survey this past winter.

It's not clear why Voyageurs' moose population appears to be relatively stable compared to the rest of northeastern Minnesota, but biologists warn climate change and disease outbreaks continue to be threats.
