 * When wolves became extinct, the deers had nothing to hunt them. This meant that they were free to eat off all the land, eventually leaving barely anything to eat for other species, killing them off in the process. But, after 70 years, the wolves made a comeback. They started to pursue the deers for food, driving them off the land. This gave the vegetation a chance to grow back, making the grass grow greener and the trees get taller. This physical change in environment helped other species of animals come back into wildlife and have the right things to live once again. **

 * 1) Write a summary statement of the science information in the video.
 * The elk population in Yellowstone National Park grew way too large over the span of the extinction of the wolves. They ate up all the trees and vegetation, causing harmful things, such as extinction, to happen to other species of animals. This caused an unbalanced ecosystem. Biologists considered the fact that bringing the wolves back might correct the unbalanced ecosystem and after more careful consideration, they brought wolves back to Yellowstone. Now, the wolves scared the elk off of their favorite snacks, the willow tree. This caused the vegetation to grow back, and the species in Yellowstone to thrive again. Scientists soon thought that wolves may be real American heroes, but they later found out that it wasn't true. Even if wolves appeared to be the more dominant species, elk are tougher and Yellowstone is a lot more complex than they thought before. In some cases there aren't enough wolves, but other times there are too many. In Yellowstone's case, the willow trees aren't recovering as well as scientists thought prior to knowing about the complexity of the park. The scientists discovered that the wolves don't actually scare the elk as thought before. If elk are hungry, they'll take the risk with the wolves. The elk and beavers both compete for willow, causing the recovery of the tree to be poor. Scientists hope for a more direct and straightforward explanation of what's going on around us.**
