By a lot, it would over populate all the animals that the gray wolf eats.

Why it is important for an animal to have more than one source of food?
because a food source can become extinct and if the other organisms only food source becomes extinct the species would starve and become extinct and other species will become extinct as well.
When plants and animals cease to exist they are said to be?
When a species dies out completely, it becomes extinct.
What would happen to us if there were no children?
Without children, our society would not have future generations to carry on our values, traditions, and innovations. We would also not have caregivers for the elderly, teachers, and workers to sustain our economy. The absence of children would also impact the social structure and dynamics of our communities.
How might extinction of one species throw an ecosystem into turmoil?
An extinction of one species could destroy an ecosystem if an animal depended on the extinct animal for food. Then that animal would die off, which could affect even more animals.
What would happen if the mouse became extinct?
If an animal becomes extinct, there will be no more of that species left like the Dodo. No more are left as they are extinct.
What would happen if Siamese cats weren't around anymore?
It would be an extinct species of cats, while other breeds thrive?
How could the extinction of a species affect life?
The extinction of a species would mean the death of a species. Every species has its own niche (or role) in its ecosystem. For example:Carnivores --eat--> Herbivores --eat--> Plants --get nutrition from--> Decomposers --eat dead things. It's an (albeit very small and simple) circle of life.Now if the herbivores were to go extinct, so would the carnivores. If the carnivores were extinct, then the herbivores would eat all the plants until the plants were extinct, and then the herbivores would die of starvation. There's a balance to things that would be crumbled and ultimately, the ecosystem would be very negatively affected if not destroyed.In addition, through studying other species, science can extend its knowledge. Some species have natural adaptations to problems that plague us humans. If science can figure out how those species deal with the problem, that solution could be modified to fit humans, too. If that species goes extinct, that possibility is lost.
What would happen if the Indus river dolphin were to become extinct?
The prey species of the river dolphin, such as fish and shrimps, would suddenly boom and dominate the ecosystem as there would be no predator keeping their populations in check. Whatever those prey species feed on would suddenly decrease as there would be more organisms feeding of it. When one species becomes extinct, it can cause other species to also become extinct. However hopefully the ecosystem returns to an equilibrium eventually. Hope this helps!
What would happen if the competition for food leads to extinction?
This frequently happens. Loss of habitat leads to loss of food sources and shelter. Often, when new non-native species are introduced, it is usually the introduced species that thrives and the native species that becomes extinct. Ultimately, what happens is that yet another species gets marked down as extinct, but nothing is done to address the problem. .. On the other hand, would a species "get marked down" if no observation of it is made? would another species benefit from the extintion? would a species that benefits from the the more plentiful food source consider it "a problem"? would another species suffer a change of diet? is there a species that relied on the feces of the extinct species, or the breath of the species, or some intestinal function, or needed the food source to be kept in check that the extinct species was competing for? would another species be able to use the winning species as a food source, or symbiont, or ...
Without reproduction would a species become extinct?
True
What affect would an animal going extinct in the Antarctica food chains have?
Affect? Affect? Not affect- disaster!
What is an extinct species that would be similar to the Bengal tiger?
The Saber toothed tiger, which is extinct, is certainly related.
