they wildebeest were nearly wiped out by rinderpest virus from cattle-- when they introduced vaccine to the population in the 1950's their population exploded- grew exponentially, overshot the carrying capacity of the region-- and then settle back down to fairly constant numbers

Hope this helped you!^^
