An interesting video which shows the inter-connected links between our ecosystem which are easy for us to overlook and not appreciate.
Watch this video and it may surprise you to see how benifical to the environment it was when Wolves were re-introduced to the Yellowstone National Park in the United States

> Everything impacts its environment
Of course it does, the video focussed on the change the wolves had, it didn't claim they were responsible for all environmental change in the park.
> the wolves that have been INtroduced (not REintroduced) to America... The wolves introduced to America in the 1990s
I'm sorry, what? They were not introduced in 1990! The Gray Wolf is native to North America, they roamed the same land and the same time as the Native American Indian.
> it was humorous to hear the narrator say "deer" while elk were on the screen
It is a little naive of you to think the same person who is clearly giving a talk was responsible for producing and editing the video, it is far more likely that someone else edited the video trying to do their best in matching the pictures with the commentary. The person editing the video might not be so in-tune with nature, so it shouldn't instantly dis-credit the merit of what the narrator is saying especially if he never even produced the video.
Everything impacts its environment. To assert that wolves are special in this way is fallacious and a straw man agrument.
More importantly, the wolves that have been INtroduced (not REintroduced) to America are a species that has never naturally ranged here. We all know of an abundance of ecological disasters resulting from the introduction of non-native species. Rabbits and Cane Toads in Australia are classic examples. The wolves introduced to America in the 1990s will go down in history as the exact same type of manmade ecological disaster.
On a fun note, it was humorous to hear the narrator say "deer" while elk were on the screen. Also "badger" when a European Badger was pictured - not an American Badger. In both cases, very different species indeed. If they couldn't be bothered to aquire correct pictures and learn the correct names, what does this say about their diligence in other matters???
