Federally endangered pallid sturgeon discovered in Iowa’s Des Moines River

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Iowa, National Fishing, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources announced on Tuesday that the federally endangered pallid sturgeon was collected for the first time from the lower Des Moines River. The discovery of two pallid sturgeon this spring came a week a part during the Iowa DNR’s annual spring sturgeon sampling effort.
This sampling has been conducted since 2014, but until this year, only shovelnose sturgeon, and an occasional lake sturgeon, have been collected.
“To find a pallid sturgeon was a surprise, but to find a second one in nearly the same spot a week later was truly remarkable.”

Outdoor Observations: Isle Royale wolf euthanized after showing a reliance on human food sources

Opportunistic. That best describes how most animals feed. While carnivores certainly will work a kill for dinner, if they can find an easier meal source from people, they’ll take it – again and again and again.
Apparently that’s what happened on Isle Royale National Park this summer, and in the end it resulted in the demise of a wolf there. The remote island, which is 45 miles long and 9 miles wide, rests in Lake Superior about 55 miles northwest of the Keweenaw Peninsula’s Copper Harbor. It’s accessible only by boat or sea plane.
