The wolf was killed in Calhoun County, roughly 300 miles (482 kilometers) south of the Upper Peninsula, during coyote hunting season. The DNR said it learned about it through social media posts.
The typical moose killed is about 12 years old and suffers from arthritis, osteoporosis, and/or periodontitis. [20] Eighty to ninety percent of moose are brought down by wolves rather than directly by disease, [21] and each wolf kills an average of between 0.44 and 1.69 moose per month. [22]

The island is well known among ecologists as the site of a long-term study of a predator-prey system, between moose and eastern timber wolves. L.
