The last wolves were killed in 1926. After that time, sporadic reports of wolves still occurred, but scientists confirmed that sustainable wolf populations had been extirpated and were absent from that area during the mid-1900s.Starting in the 1940s, park managers, biologists, conservationists and environmentalists began what would ultimately turn into a campaign to reintroduce the Grey Wolf into the Yellowstone National Park. . In 1995, Grey Wolves were first reintroduced in the area.

I FIND MORE LIKELY THIS REASON:
   The wolves were brought in because the increased elk population was overgrazing the deciduous, woody species such as aspen and cottonwood.

Foxes are opportunistic eaters and this flexibility allows them to occupy such a wide variety of habitats. Rabbits and rodents (primarily voles) are common prey, but a fox’s diet can include everything from birds and their eggs, to earthworms, beetles and fruit.
Martes martes - Microtus thomasi
The pine marten is omnivorous. It favors animal food, relying on small mammals for most of the year. The diet composition and proportion often change according to season and local conditions.Favored foods include voles, squirrels, other small mammals, birds, insects, carrion, and frogs, reptiles, and snails.

It is also known as the common mole and the northern mole.
This mole lives in an underground tunnel system, which it constantly extends. It uses these tunnels to hunt its prey. Under normal conditions the displaced earth is pushed to the surface, resulting in the characteristic molehills. It feeds mainly on earthworms, but also on insects, centipedes and even mice and shrews. Its saliva contains toxins which paralyze earthworms in particular.

Like the common shrew, a female lesser white-toothed shrew and her young may form a "caravan" when foraging for food or seeking a place of safety; each shrew grips the tail of the shrew in front so that the group stays together.]]> 2019-01-27 22:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nikolitsa1210/9fflkn0cx5a2/wish/324741932 Niche patritioning nikolitsa1210 https://padlet.com/nikolitsa1210/9fflkn0cx5a2/wish/324742284 Two species that share the same food is Apodemus epimelas and Apodemus flavicollis.
