Dogs Tracking Moose for Ecological Insights | Mountain Lake Journal

Follow along as we join the Wildlife Conservation Society in their effort to track moose in the Adirondack Park using specially trained dogs. The dogs, like those that can sniff out bombs or drugs, are helping biologists by using their incredible sense of smell to find moose scat. Researchers explain how DNA testing can help them get a better idea of how many moose are living in the Adirondack wilderness, what they’re eating, and whether the population is healthy. This resource will focus on the importance of conservation of wildlife, and how the research that these biologists are conducting can help.
