Answer:

What may happen is everything where they used to live may change. Like The food cycle or the ecosystem. Here's a example. We took wolves from their natural environment and there was a big impact on what they did. Elks is what they ate all the time and kept their population low enough to where the environment can thrive but when they took the wolves the elks started to eat the berries in which Grizzly Bears need to feast on for their hibernation and they ate shrubs and other plant like stuff to which stuff couldn't grow anymore. The Elk population when from 5000 to 30000 from when they took the wolves that day. Another thing is how beavers build dams to keep water from going to certain places which help humans out too, but all the time the Elks would drink water and leave waste inside the water to where fish and other species inside the water started dying out. So beavers couldn't build. So this is my example of what may happen if a species is moved from their natural ground cause they could also ruin a food chain somewhere else.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps

When a species is moved from its natural habitat it will learn to adapt to the new environment
