As someone who has seen the forests throughout the country, I am quite interested in the big mammals. It is always exciting to see deer grazing just off the trial. But for the east coast, this might be a problem now.
According to Federal researchers, one of the deer's greatest predators on the east coast has been officially extinct. The lack of the eastern cougar might be the reason why the east coast forests have been deteriorating. The deer have lost there balance having no predators, allowing them to over graze.
They is an idea of reintroducing them back into the ecosystem. Of course, this would worry some people, but would definitely make a significant impact to the situation.
