Wolves in the United States - Dispersing Dicey for Yellowstone Wolves
by Norman A. Bishop

Noted wolf biologist Rolf Peterson reported in a recent news article that "on Isle Royale, if there was an equilibrium between the species, it would be about 30 wolves and 1,000 moose. But that level is almost never reached—one of the two species is almost always out of whack."
