Since the 1900's, this uninhabited island in Lake Superior has been a constant battleground between moose and wolves. Scientists have been watching closely since 1953, making it one of the oldest research projects in the country.
Flying squirrels leaping through the air is quite a sight, especially for researchers who know they are not supposed to be there. The southern flying squirrel are typically found along the shores of Lake Erie.
