Abstract

Analyses of wolf scats collected in summer in Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba, show that moose a relatively rare prey item. This immunity extends to the calves, and a fall classified count has shown a ratio of calves:100 cows of 34.6. Predation pressures are absorbed by less well defended species: elk and beaver are abundant and heavily preyed upon.
