Red wolf comeback helps other animals thrive

I found this story so very interesting because I have been watching the debate out west about the wolves and the environment.
This story takes place much closer to home. These wolves are in North Carolina and according to scientists, with their re-introduction other populations of wild animals are making a comeback. the chain according to the article is wolf--raccoon-wild turkeys and quail. You see, the only predator the raccoom has is the wolf. If there are no wolves, the raccoons flourish and eat the turkeys and quail. With the wolves hold the raccoon population down, the turnkeys and quail are making a comeback.
Check out the story here. I think you will find it interesting.
