Spend enough time near Yellowstone National Park and you’re bound to see the bumper stickers: "Lake Trout Kill Elk." Illegally introduced into Lake Yellowstone in the mid-1990s, non-native lake trout have wreaked havoc in the area ever since. Expedition Leader Charlie Reinertsen shares how the species threatens both aquatic and terrestrial habitats and native wildlife like cutthroat trout and elk. Hear, too, what Yellowstone conservationists are doing to combat invasive aquatic species.
