Moose and Wolves and Isle Royale (oh my!)

"It's a bird!" "It's a plane!" "It's a... moose hanging from a helicopter?" Yes actually. This week Cassidy welcomes Michigistory's resident biologist Molly Engelman back to the show to discuss the deeply fascinating (and even more deeply strange) history of some of Michigan's most iconic species. Tune in to learn about Michigan's dwindling moose population, the longest running predator prey study in the world, and that time we kidnapped 59 moose from Canada, strapped them to a helicopter, and flew them into the sunset. Plus, stick around for a discussion of the most important question in modern biology: what is our role as humans?For more Michigan history, including video clips from this episode, follow us on Instagram and TikTok @michigistoryFor story ideas, advertisement inquiries, questions (or compliments) email [email protected] you like to read Molly's biologically philosophical college essay entitled, "To Herbicide, or Not to Herbicide?"
