You are correct, beavers are herbivores and do not eat meat. In that case, the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park likely had indirect positive effects on the beaver population by reducing the number of predators preying on them, such as coyotes, which would have ultimately led to an increase in beaver numbers.

You are correct, wolves do occasionally eat beavers. In that case, the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park might have had a direct negative impact on the beaver population by adding an additional predator. It is important to note that the relationship between wolves and beavers in an ecosystem can be complex and can vary depending on various factors such as habitat, prey abundance, and other predator presence.
