TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) - Rolf Peterson has watched a bleeding female wolf struggle to survive, helped by a turncoat male from the rival pack that had mauled and left her for dead.
He and his wife have spent three decades of summers in an old fishing cabin without electricity or running water so he could do field work such as gathering moose bones and scouting wolf dens.
He has chronicled with endless fascination the not-so-peaceful coexistence between wolves and moose on Isle Royale, a wilderness national park in Lake Superior whose isolation provides a rare setting for predator and prey to interact with minimal human contact.
