They did a experiment in canada , PEI is a small province that is serperated by sea and isolated from the mainland in regards too animal migration.
They wanted too see how ,am not sure if it was deer or Moose or somthing like that would do if they were introduced into a enclosed section of PEI which had no predators or anything to reduce the population,around 8 females and 12 males were choosen to create a good gene pool and then they left them too live freely in the enclosed area of 16 acres.
If you have ever been too PEI it isnt a very rocky region, It is mostly all grassland and hills.
So the deer population went from 20 too 80 and then by three years there were hundreds of them . Eventually they picked all the grass and feilds clean and then large portions of the deer/moose, started too become under nurished since the land didnt create enough food to support the growing population and then hundreds died in the winter and the population shrank all the way back too 30-40 .
