The Wolves

Annotations:

  • The wolves were reintroduced into the Yellowstone National Park in the United States in 1995.
  1. The Deers

    Annotations:

    • The number of deers increased (because nobody hunted them). That was a problem for us because the vegetation was disappearing. After the wolves arriving (although few) the effects were really visible. They're also changed the deers compartment.
    1. The Threes

      Annotations:

      • After the deers' changed comportment the threes size was quintupled in less than six years.
      1. The Birds

        Annotations:

        • After the threes' quintupled size the number of songbirds and migratory birds started to increase greatly.
        1. The Beavers

          Annotations:

          • After the threes' quintupled size the beavers too were coming because they like to eat the threes. They also helped the ecosystem because they built niches for other species and dums that provides the habitat for otters, muskrats, ducks, fishes, reptiles and amphibious.
