    Wyoming resident here. We actually do have a “zombie moose” problem and its persistence is in part due to a lack of wolves. No, I am not kidding.

    What’s up with these percentages? How could these possibly be known? You would have to know how much the animal weighed before hand and have control over a lot of variables.

    And they cited Reddit…

    I am struggling to imagine a lone wolf killing an adult moose. A juvenile or elderly/sick one maybe. Unless it managed to hamstring it real early on it just seems implausible

      A wolf is a lot bigger than you think, also, they have greater agility over a moose id reckon

        Sure, but moosen are like 15 foot tall multi ton kaiju with bone spikes and an attitude problem. Ive been to wolf sanctuaries and I understand wolf size, but it’s not in the same league

    But wait, if a lone wolf gets 53% of the moose, but a pack of six gets 83% of the moose, then per-wolf that’s 13.8% of the moose. Why would an individual opt to hunt in a pack then?
