Alaskan sea otters have a new threat to their species ⬇️
After eradicating their deer prey, wolves on a remote Alaskan island have turned to voraciously hunting and consuming sea otters as their main food source, a new study has revealed.
The wolf pack responsible for the otter carnage first swam to the island to begin hunting in 2013, subsequently causing the island's deer population to plummet. Yet after eliminating their main source of food from the island, the wolves didn't leave. Now, a study published Jan 23. in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , has tracked the pack since 2015 to reveal how the wolves adapted to eat otters.
