With more plants available... moose are healthier on average and can avoid wolves, leading to extinction of the wolves arger populations of moose and wolves are more vulnerable to environmental fluctuations, increasing the chance of extinction. there is not enough room for moose to move around the island looking for food, leading to extinction of the moose and then the wolves. moose and then wolf populations grow larger during cycle peaks-with enough wolves, all moose are eaten, leading to extinction for both.Explanation / Answer
ANSWER IS:
there is not enough room for moose to move around the island looking for food, leading to extinction of the moose and then the wolves.
EXPLANATION:
Moose don't get food in the summer as it is too hot. They have a big fur coat on, and cannot sweat. They sit in the shade or in the water. So if they do not eat enough in summer, they become weak and easy prey for wolves during the winter.
