return to... wolf-moose home
In January 2005, a wolf fell through the ice and died in Siskiwit Bay. In May 2005, the skeleton washed up on shore. The skeleton was reported by John and Ann Mahan, well-known Great Lakes photographers.
We recovered the carcass, and they photographed the event. See the photos by going to their website.
The wolf was a subordinate female from Chippewa Harbor Pack. It had dispersed from its natal pack to look for a mate. It had spent some time with a dispersing male in early 2004. Like most dispersing wolves, it died before ever having a chance to mate.
