Eastern Wolves and Moose Carcass in Algonquin Park |
 |
|
Eleanor Beagan and I saw this Eastern
Wolf Canis lycaon running along side the highway in Algonquin
Park near km 11. It was
heading west at a brisk pace. 20 April 2013. |

Dead Moose carcass between km 10 and km
11. The wolf was heading for the carcass beside the road, spotted by
Professor Michael Noonan and his students from Canisius College in Buffalo NY
on 20 April 2013. On the log in front of the Moose, Professor Noonan
set up a camera to take night photos. Below are photos sent by
Michael Noonan. Reproduced with his permission. |

Next day, the Moose carcass showed it had
been eaten overnight by Wolves and maybe other animals. Turkey
Vultures were feeding on it later in the day. Unfortunate for the
Moose, it was a welcome meal for many other animals. 21 April 2013. |
