Wolf packs also appear to have killed as many as half the coyotes in at least two areas of the park, opening up ecological breathing room for foxes and other species. Even highland vegetation, no longer chewed up by hungry elk, is expected to start making a comeback. "We're seeing beneficial effects from the top down," says Robert Crabtree, a wildlife ecologist.
