EFFECTS OF BLACK BEAR PREDATION ON CARIBOU--A REVIEW
I reviewed available literature concerning black bear (Ursus americanus) predation on caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in an effort to gain insight on the possible impacts of black bear predation on a potential re-introduction of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) to north-central Minnesota.
