Cutthroat Trout Under Attack
Yellowstone National Park’s iconic cutthroat trout have been under attack from nonnative lake trout.
“Osprey and eagle populations have nosedived around Yellowstone Lake where lake trout outcompete them for food. By 2010, the lake had maybe one osprey nest, down from 40 to 60 nesting pairs a decade earlier, said Todd Koel, leader of the park’s native fish conservation program.”
