Wolves, moose, elk, black bears, mountain lions even wolverines show up as random travelers in places least expected.
There is a place in southwest Minnesota that in Indian means “place where the caribou was killed”.
Some critters, like people, just like to roam.
Sometimes they are pushed. Black bears from MN are pushing to ND as well as south to Iowa. Pushed by overpopulation, and not enough control. Wolves have been pushing in all directions since their numbers have exploded in Northern MN and they have decimated the ungulate food source here.
Wandering and killing are what they do for a living.
