4 Canadian wolves released on Michigan's Isle Royale, including 92-pound male.
ISLE ROYALE, MI - The wolf relocation project playing out on Michigans remote Isle Royale just got a heavy new dose of testosterone.
Four new Canadian wolves - three males that all tip the scales at around 90 pounds and one smaller female - have all been released on the island in Lake Superior in the last week, according to the National Park Service.
According to the data collected, one of the male wolves weighed in at 92 pounds. Another was an alpha male from his Canadian pack.
The four new wolves join the islands two older wolves - a male and female - and two newer female wolves from Minnesota who were relocated to Isle Royale last fall. The relocation program designed to bolster the number of predators on an island teeming with more than 1,500 leaf-eating moose is expected to bring in up to 30 new wolves in the next few years.
