Moose in Minnesota represent a mystery

Moose live in the extreme northern part of Minnesota, mostly in the rugged terrain of the northeastern counties and in the boggy lowlands north and west of the Red lakes.

Unfortunately their numbers in Minnesota have been declining over the past 10 years; the majority of mortality appears to be related to disease and parasites, possibly brought on by a warming climate.
