Question

if all the wolves (predators) are removed from a forest, what will likely happen to the deer (prey)? the deer population will grow very large. the deer will start hunting each other. the deer population will stay the same. the deer will stop eating grass

Explanation:

Wolves are the main predator of deer in this forest ecosystem. Removing the predator removes a key limiting factor on the deer population, so the deer numbers will increase significantly initially as there is less predation pressure. The other options are biologically implausible: deer are herbivores and do not hunt each other, the population will not stay the same without predation, and deer will not stop eating as they need food to survive.

Answer:

The deer population will grow very large.
