In 1898 a cow and bull were transported To Newfoundland from Nova Scotia.Later in the early 1900's 2 bulls and 4 cows were delivered from New Brunswick.
These days the Newfoundland ecosystem is being altered by over browsing from the more than 750,000 moose that call the Rock home.
They dont compare to the Alaskan/Yukon strain but they do grow bigger than the shiras moose strain in the lower 48.
Amazing how quickly they have reproduced considering NFL is a very inhospitable place, especially in the winter.The islands moose numbers are so high they are causing severe damage to the timber industry(particularly balsam fir) and are displacing the native woodland caribou herds.
The reason they reproduce so quickly is that the cows were two sets of twins, and birthings born of a member of a set twins have a higher chance of BEING twins. this stacks up. Most other places in NA have a twin birth rate of 1 in 3500, newfoundland has a rate of 1 in 700 or something also, triplets are nearly unheard of elsewhere, but they occur in something like 1 in 3500-4000 in NF

Nope. Nor are they indigenous to Isle Royale in Lake Superior. It's still a matter of considerable debate how they arrived on Isle Royale.

750,000!!! Wow! No wonder they welcome hunters. Just wish their moose had bigger headgear.
