What happen to the moose population when the number of wolves was low?

When the number of wolves is low, the moose population tends to increase significantly due to reduced predation pressure. This can lead to overgrazing and degradation of the habitat, as more moose consume vegetation without natural checks on their population. Ultimately, an unchecked moose population may face food shortages and increased competition, which can lead to a decline in their numbers over time. This dynamic highlights the importance of predator-prey relationships in maintaining ecosystem balance.
