The Yukon Territory and Sweden are almost the same size in area, while UK is half that size. On that island live 60 million people and 2 moose. The latter moved over from Sweden, which reduced Sweden’s moose population to 398,000 – which is still 5 times more than in the Yukon. 165,000 caribou are running around wild in the Yukon, while the 220,000 caribou in Sweden, are owned by Saami herders. No caribou, bears or wolves are to be found wild in the UK – yet. The Yukon has 6 times more bears than Sweden, which has no grizzly bears at all. There is a steady wolf population in the Yukon of 5,000 – while in Sweden 18 of 220 wolves tend to walk over to Norway.
