Once the wolves came in the deer population decreased slowly. The deers had to move to more appropriate locations so that they wouldn't get hunted off. The areas that they avoided slowly flourished causing more life to begin there. Slowly, a chain reaction began making even the trees and the forest life quintiple in just six years. Making more room for birds to come in. Then the beavers came because they cut down the trees and by them cutting down the trees they made new homes for the other wildlife that inhabited the lakes and the rivers. Slowly, the way that the ecosystem in Yellow Stone grew started to change and not only grew, but flourished.
