The "definition" of "carrying" capacity in the animal world is: "The maxium population of a given species that an ecosystem can support without being degraded or destroyed in the long run. The carrying capacity may be exceeded, but not without lessening the system`s ability to support life in the long term." This answer was taken out of a college text book on Environmental Science By: Richard T. Wright I hope this helps explain your question. Good Luck!
