Wild pigs were brought to the United States in 1539 by European settlers. Their population has steadily increased since then. Wild pigs eat almost anything, and they often compete with native wildlife, such as deer and wild turkeys, for food. They dig up the ground to find food, which results in the destruction of the forests where the pigs live. Predators of the wild pig are black bears and mountain lions. Which of these describes the MOST LIKELY effect of removing wild pigs from the forest ecosystems? *

A) The number of plants will increase.
B) The number of mountain lions will increase.
C) The deer will have more difficulty finding food.
D) The wild turkeys will move to another location.
