Why were wolf populations removed from Yellowstone national park
Oduvanchick [21]

In the 1800s, westward expansion brought settlers and their livestock into direct contact with native predator and prey species. Much of the wolves’ prey base was destroyed as agriculture flourished. With the prey base removed, wolves began to prey on domestic stock, which resulted in humans eliminating wolves from most of their historical range. Predator control, including poisoning, was practiced here in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Other predators such as bears, cougars, and coyotes were also killed to protect livestock and “more desirable” wildlife species, such as deer and elk.

These statements describe the Nile River.
aalyn [17]

Answer:

After reading the statement for answer, I noticed that some were true and some were false.  So, I'll assume your question is related to that fact.

Here's an analysis of the statements:

Ancient civilizations once lived along the Nile.

TRUE. That's why we encounter the pyramids in that region.

Fertile lands surround the Nile.

TRUE, since the Nile is THE most important source of water in the area, it's logical for it to be the location of agriculture.

Few people live near the river.

FALSE.  In Ancient times and today, the Nile shores host most of the population of Egypt, a large part of the country being essentially a chunk of the Sahara desert.

The Nile provides irrigation for surrounding farms.

TRUE. The Nile is virtually the only source of abundant water in the area.

The Nile runs through Libya and Tunisia.

FALSE. Libya and Tunisia are WEST of the country of Egypt and have nothing to do with the Nile.

So, depending if you had to find the TRUE or FALSE statements in this list, make your pick.  I hope that helps.
