The disappearance of large carnivors has caused a population explosion in Mustang herds. In the absence of preditors horses move up on the food chain. They have no natural enemies with the exception of disease and man.
In Africa where most of the large preditors are protected by law the zebra population is kept in check. Predation culls the herds, taking the sick and injured first, in order that the strong survive and breed.
There are programs now that are reintroducing large carnivors back to their natural habitat. Wolves and bear, if successful, should make an impact on wild horse herds and the Mustangs will once again be where they were meant to be on the food chain.
