The Delicate Balance of Organisms:
The ecosystem goes in a cycle. say a hawk eats a mouse. the hawks eat the mouse population. when the mouse population goes down, the hawks start dying of starvation, or not getting enough to eat. When the hawk population goes down, the mouse population rises, and then the cycle stars over.
