In the african savanna, more wildebeests are born than the environment can support. which is  mostlikely  to happen over a period of years as a result? the chances for survival of the population are reduced. new food sources are discovered and become the regular diet. individuals that are well suited to the environment reproduce, and those that have lesser adaptations die before they reproduce. the environment adapts by providing more resources to the growing population, increasing the chances of survival for individuals within the habitat.
