Mammals are much the same. The population cycles of jack rabbits in Minnesota seem to have little to do with the food supply. When the cycle approaches its peak, rabbits begin to die in horrible convulsions, with wild leaps and running movements. Their corpses are well nourished and show no signs of epidemic disease. But their internal organs are fat-clogged, degenerated and damaged by hemorrhages. Overcrowding seems somehow to upset the rabbits' pituitary and adrenal glands, causing their abnormal secretions to trigger a long chain of fatal troubles...
Only 40 years ago, a small island in Chesapeake Bay supported a few deer. They were given plenty of food, and they multiplied enthusiastically. But when the population reached one deer per acre, the animals began to die off. Their internal organs showed "adrenal stress," just like the Minnesota rabbits...

First playing in an old movie theater and later in a brewery...
