Question: Michigan’s Isle Royale is home to the longest continuous predator-prey study in the world, now running more than six decades. Which two animals have scientists been tracking there?

Answer: Wolves and moose. The island’s isolation in Lake Superior, where wolves are essentially the moose’s only predator, makes it a rare natural laboratory, and the Wolf-Moose Project there is the longest continuous study of any predator-prey system in the world.
