Answer:

its a little bit long but= The most obvious result of the removal of the top predators in an ecosystem is a population explosion in the prey species.More predators kill more prey, which, along with food scarcity, decreases the population. When prey becomes more scarce, the predator population declines until prey is again more abundant.
