Pretty neat video. The gist of it is re-introducing wolves to yellowstone had a huge impact on the park by not only killing off some of the deer/elk but by also changing their behavior. This revitalized the vegetation in some areas which then brought back other species, and so on....
Reminded me of a presentation given by someone from Mass-Wildlife I attended a few years ago... they noted that over-abundant deer populations can have a negative impact on vegetation which can lead to reduced bird populations/diversity, among other things. Something to mention to any anti-hunting bird-watchers you meet![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")
