 * 6) Write a summary statement of the science information in the video. Yellowstone is not the same without the wolves. Wolves impact the ecosystem of Yellowstone greatly because they control the populations of other animals by what they eat.When there are no wolves the elk population increases and because of this the beaver population decreases because they share the same food sources. This made a difference in the rivers because the beavers build dams and a dam is a structure that beavers make to block the river.Without dams the river flows faster and in different ways, this could damage the ecosystem greatly.
