thier cats, possums, fox, small rodents, bugs, raccoons, sometimes deers when traveling, skunks, and coyates once a while And if a new invaisive species were introduced to that forest, it would mess with everything.

Imagine if, say, the foxes went extinct. A few things would happen. Foxes are sometimes hunted by coyotes, so the coyotes would lose a source of food, so the deer would be hunted more and their number would drop drastically, affecting the coyotes too. All the rodents and insects the fox feeds on would multiply, and without any predators, their numbers would grow unchecked.

That is comaprable to what would happen if an invaisive animal species were introduced.
