Scientists Just Found What's Killing America's Moose — and It's Worse Than Anyone Thought

Why are America’s moose disappearing, and why are wildlife scientists allowing more hunting in an attempt to save them? This documentary uncovers the surprising science behind one of North America’s fastest-developing wildlife crises. Follow researchers in Maine, Minnesota, Michigan, and New Hampshire as they track GPS-collared moose calves, investigate mysterious deaths, and discover that tiny winter ticks—not wolves or hunters—are draining entire herds from within. Learn how climate change, warmer autumns, delayed snowfall, and exploding parasite populations have transformed a long-known pest into a devastating threat. From ghost moose, brainworm, wildlife conservation, and helicopter research to controversial hunting management and ecosystem balance, this investigation reveals why the greatest danger to America’s iconic moose may not be visible at all—and why saving the species has become far more complicated than anyone expected. #moose #winter #maine #wildlife #climatechange
