When wolves disappeared from Yellowstone National Park, the deer population increased significantly. This led to overgrazing of the vegetation, particularly willow trees, which caused a decline in their population. Without the presence of wolves to control the deer population, the ecosystem became unbalanced with an increase in deer and a decrease in vegetation. Additionally, with the decrease in willow trees, there was a ripple effect on other plant and animal species in the park. The disappearance of wolves ultimately had a negative impact on the overall biodiversity and health of Yellowstone National Park.
