When the moose population grows too high, the balsam fir population crashes, leading to a crash in the moose population, in a continuing population "see-saw". [19] Moose mostly die from the consequences of malnutrition: they become emaciated and slowed down by arthritis, until they are easy prey for a wolf pack. Also, calves suffer from ...
A chameleon successfully capturing prey with its tongue. In ecology, hunting success is the proportion of hunts initiated by a predatory organism that end in success. Hunting success is determined by a number of factors such as the features of the predator, timing, different age classes, conditions for hunting, experience, and physical capabilities.
Social mammal predators prey on herbivores with a body mass similar to that of the combined mass of the predator pack. [22] [23] The gray wolf specializes in preying on the vulnerable individuals of large prey, [24] and a pack of timber wolves can bring down a 500 kg (1,100 lb) moose. [25] [26]

Three species of tree are considered collectively to be Australian pines. They were planted as windbreaks along canals and agricultural fields, and as shade trees in the middle of the 20th century. They are salt tolerant and grow well in beach areas, displacing native vegetation that prevents coastal erosion, particularly following disturbances ...
The Alaskan subspecies of moose (Alces alces gigas) is the largest in the world; adult males weigh 1,200 to 1,600 pounds (542–725 kg), and adult females weigh 800 to 1,300 pounds (364–591 kg) [17] Alaska's substantial moose population is controlled by predators such as bears and wolves, which prey mainly on vulnerable calves, as well as by ...
