A number of wolves from northern Ontario will be going to live south of the border.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry has agreed to transport several wolves to Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior, about 50kms south of Thunder Bay.
MNR minister Jeff Yurek says the State of Michigan has called Ontario seeking assistance in controlling the moose population.
“With very few wolves remaining at Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park, and natural population recovery unlikely, Ontario has agreed to move several wolves during the winter months.”
Yurek says the wolves will be transported about two hours by helicopter before being released on the island.
