Yellowstone wolves create a trophic cascade by influencing the behavior and population dynamics of herbivores, particularly elk. Their presence leads to the reduction of elk populations and changes in their grazing patterns, allowing vegetation, such as willows and aspens, to recover and thrive. This regrowth fosters a healthier ecosystem, benefiting various species, including beavers, birds, and other wildlife. Ultimately, the wolves' predation helps maintain biodiversity and balance within the ecosystem.
