If a large amount of a specific animal is killed, there is a risk of endangerment or extinction, making permanent changes in the ecosystem of the region. A natural disaster can also create an imbalance between predators, prey animals, and plants, or other food sources that many species eat. The decreased number of prey animals, animals and plants, effects the food chain because if there are drastic reductions in the amounts a kind of plant important to the survival of an animal, the animal that relies on those plants could starve. When that animal population drops, the predator that normally feeds on the plant eater discovers it's impossible to find it's usual for food, and will suffer a food shortage and they may starve. If the shortage continues, and many of the other species die from starvation, then a large amount of predator animals will die, and the cycle will continue on throughout that food chain.
