- Did the Wolves really fix Yellowstone?
Trophic cascade has been a talking point for years, but a new study suggests that maybe we have oversimplified a very complicated issue.

The big thing I see with this specific example is just a lack of time. The key part is the rivers going from meandering streams to faster straighter channels with much higher banks. As they say in the paper the willows can only live on sandbars in the middle or on the terrace above the stream and aren't directly interacting with and slowing down the water, this is also much less ideal habitat for beavers to get reestablished. These morphological changes just in terms of the stream are going to take a lot more than 30 years, even if the decreased elk population is enough to do it. Now with smart human intervention in key areas on each of these river channels we could significantly slow flow and reintroduce lots of riparian trees to the channel to kickstart the process.
Agreed. More has to happen. I think they where just trying to establish that directly attributing this to wolves is just false
After years of watching your shorts I've finally subscribed to your channel:) thanks for doing good work!
Dang, also makes a lot of sense, did not know the complete picture of Yellowstones current state.
A lot more certainly needs to be done. Also off topic from Yellowstone, Australia certainly needs to rewild apex carnivores such as the Komodo dragons which evolved in Australia. Also rewilding Cuban crocodiles in the terrestrial landscapes of the Bahamas and Dominican Republic, as well as Hutus rodents, rock iguanas, tortoises, and other species that used to inhabit those islands. Also Cuban crocodiles would be another great candidate for Australia as a taxon substitute or ecological surrogate to Quinkana the fully terrestrial galloping land crocodile with ziphodont dentition.
Hey man love the channel keep up the great videos and the hard work 🤙🏻
Thanks!
People also forget to take into account that we are part of said ecosystem as well. No matter how you want to look at it. Love the channel bro. Always enjoy hearing what you have to say on these topics. Keep it up
A simple person explains a complicated issue. There is a high percentage of bad information being conveyed.
What is your problem? He is a conservationist student. And you used the word simple as euphemism for stupid. So since you are clearly the educated genius here please explain to all us simple folk what the misinformation is.
I'm waiting for your response to the question above.
