I would honestly go and look at one in person if there was ever any more at Yellowstone. I also think that if we had more wolves that aren't being hunted then we would get more wolves surviving in our world.]]> 2018-02-14 16:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/warda6/v9irnty7i1ko/wish/231579390 warda6 https://padlet.com/warda6/v9irnty7i1ko/wish/231579722  Prey/predator population keeps us from losing some animals we need. Although they eat each other it keeps them from over populating because if they over populate we start to have not enough prey for other animals and then they start dying because they can't get food. In bear necessitates we started off with a lot of animals and then the second day more died and then they all died at the end of every round.]]> 2018-02-14 16:36:54 UTC https://padlet.com/warda6/v9irnty7i1ko/wish/231579722 warda6 https://padlet.com/warda6/v9irnty7i1ko/wish/232401496 2018-02-16 16:25:02 UTC https://padlet.com/warda6/v9irnty7i1ko/wish/232401496 warda6 https://padlet.com/warda6/v9irnty7i1ko/wish/240935298 There have been lots of population changes in the past 40 years for beavers. In 1921 they started to calculate how many colonies of beavers there are and the counted 25 colonies. In 1953 they found eight colonies in the northern range. The park-wide survey started in 1996 and counted 49 colonies and increased 127 by 2007, dropping 118 in 2009, and 112 in 2011. The park's population of beavers probably has grown in the last 15 years. BEAVERS

wolves habitats like forest, mountains, and desserts. they mainly eat meat and berries. they basically only need exercise, food, water, and shelter. mainly in a wolf pack there are 6-10 wolves. their lifespan is 5-6 years. in December of 2014, the population was 104 wolves in 11 packs. there are about 75 different packs in Yellowstone.WOLVES

moose are adapted to be in deeper snow than in any other part of Yellowstone. they usually will be found in small groups or found alone. their are less than 200 moose in Yellow stone. adults weighs about 1000 pounds if they are male. if they are female they weigh about 900 pounds. the reason for moose population to go down was due to loss of old growth forests surrounding the park, hunting outside the park, burning habitats, and predators.  
elk are the most abundant large animal in Yellowstone. Elk antlers are covered with fuzzy/thick coat sometimes referred as velvet. The grasslands habitat for elk is 10,000-20,000. less than 5,000 elk spend winter in the park. The population of elk in 1993-1994 was 15,000. Ever since the population of elk has been decreased. elk are herbivores meaning the eat plants. They prefer gibbon meadows, elk park, and Lamar valley.

Because, wolves could theoretically shift the population of both organisms. For example, if the wolf population is at a low, the elk population would be high which would cause their to be less willows since the elk would be eating them. However, if the wolf population was at a high, the elk population would dip, therefore, leading the willow population to rise since there wouldn’t be as much elk.

     Wolves are dying because the Moose are getting killed because of the ticks that kill them and because of the cold winter weather.
