Wolves, like all predators, keep prey (especially herbivore) populations in check. Controlling herbivores (that is, keeping their population within an ideal range) helps to keep vegetation well-managed and sustainable.

∙ 13y agoWolves kill sick elk and deer, keeping deaseses from spreading in the herd. They also eat annoying bugs and squirrels. And wolves prevent the overeating of plants by deer and elk, letting trees grow and beavers and birds have a home.

∙ 13y agoWolves hunt to eat, but they only bring down animals that are sick, injured, very old, or very young - all in all, the unwanted and unneeded of the herds. By weeding these animals out, they are improving the food chain by allowing the strong animals that are needed for strong, healthy offspring, to survive.
