>>500823>Wyoming we decided it would be a good idea to let a few pack of wolves loose in Yellowstone>He doesn't know they were reintroduced because they helped control the population of deers on the national park(Whom popation had atteined such height they had to kill hundred of them each year, to prevent a deer overpopulation and all the trouble it would bring to the ecosystem, and since we hunted them all away long ago there barely any natural predators, not enough alas to cull down the deers), whom with their massive population caused shitload of trouble for the flora, to the point that the rivers were starting to erode away because the flora didn't had time to take rootsLook up How Wolves Change Rivers. Of course much of the articles about the subject aren't really knowledgeable on the subject, but the actual reason behind it are quite scientific and reasonable. In only a couples of years the wolves managed to do what biologist and wildlife keepers tried to do since the wolf were hunted away : Prevent the deer population of becoming a danger to itself and its environment.
Because you see, deer aren't really self-aware, and even less of their environment. They don't really control their hunger and their reproductions rates, so they would simply grow and grow until the ecosystem simply can't support that many deers and then it would come crashing down, with loads of deers dieing of starvation since they will eat their food source faster than it can grow back. So the solutions were either that we hunt even more deers, or introduce a predator to the ecosystem whom population will fluctuate and adapt itself to the prey population, making the whole thing balanced just as nature intended.
