Answer:

Many populations will grow way to much. Also others will drop in numbers drastically.

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the fact that wolves are predators, the prey they eat will grow 85% more. Now, 85% of the wolf population dies, that`s a lot of prey not eaten. Then the prey that are predators to other animals who are over hunted by their predators will most likely drop in numbers drastically, by I mean 85%. This will throw the ecosystem off so much, humans could be at grave risk.
