Best Answer

Without wolves, many species of rodents would have serious problems. The wolves control the population and prevent an explosion. They pick off the weaker, less able animals of a species to help preserve integrity and create a more elite race. In the absence of wolves, rabbits would have a population explosion followed by a severe lack of food. They would also not be the skilled masters of sensing and running that they are today.
