Answer: Other prey species tend to grow.

Explanation: When a top predator is removed from an ecosystem or any other specific place that species tends to grow faster and get larger in numbers since that top predator is not eating and destroying the animals since he is now gone.

Over the past few decades, scientists have turned up increasing evidence that losing top predators can cause entire ecosystems to collapse, with humans amont the potential victims.
