I apologize for the mistake. The correct answer is: The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park actually increased the beaver population. Wolves primarily prey on elk and deer, which are herbivorous animals and feed on vegetation, including the willows and aspens that beavers rely on for building their dams and lodges. By preying on elk and deer, wolves indirectly reduced the browsing pressure on these plants, allowing them to regrow and providing more resources for the beavers. This led to an increase in the beaver population and the creation of more wetland habitats within the park.
