Even though there are no data on buffalo before 1960, scientists think that the elimination of Rinderpest explains the rapid growth of buffalo between 1960 and 1975. What reasoning could support this claim? (Consider evidence from the simulation to help you decide). There were fewer predators of buffalo on the Serengeti between 1960 and 1975. The Serengeti did not have enough resources for buffalo between 1960 and 1975. There was more grass on the Serengeti between 1960 and 1975, because there were fewer cattle feeding on it. The disease kept the buffalo population low, but in fact, there were enough resources to support a much larger population available to them.
