Quote, paraphrase, and citation #1

Moose are killed by wolves, black and brown bears. Black bears take moose calves in May and June. Brown bears kill calves and adults the entire time the bears are out of their winter dens. Wolves kill moose throughout the year. Predation limits the growth of many moose populations in Alaska.

Alaskan Moose populations are being limited because of predators that are after them.  Mostly Moose are attacked and killed by wolves, black, and brown bears.  There is kind of a "Killing" cycle.  The black bears snatch Moose calves in May and June.  When Moose hibernation is over, brown bears kill calves while they are out of there winter dens.  Lastly, wolves kill Moose throughout the entire year!  It is the animals not the people that are affecting Moose population.
