I read something completely different this morning, I'll have to try to find the link later today.
That the mortality rate among new born animals in the region is way over norm, and that the region is attracking wild life because its essentially abandoned and then killing said wild life.
So a lot of these larger then average packs and numbers aren't native to the area or born to the area, the come to the area because its un inhabited.
