Apopulation of wolves in wyoming experienced a rapid decline. scientists found that 20 wolves died from rabies, 15 wolves died from mange (a parasitic mite), and 10 wolves died from natural causes. wyoming experienced a recent drought, and many populations, including deer, bison, and bear, have diminished in the past year. what is best described in this explanation?

Wolves were exposed to many limiting factors.

In the given case, wolves got exposed to various limiting factors.

Explanation:

A limiting factor can be illustrated as the factors as well as the environmental circumstances that restrict the growth, abundance, and/or distribution of the populations or organisms in an ecosystem. The abiotic limiting factors comprise the accessibility of water, food, shelter, temperature, and precipitation.  

The biotic limiting factors may comprise biological associations like predation, parasitism, diseases, competition, and others. All the factors like mange, rabies, drought, and other things restrict the growth of the wolves population, and therefore, can be termed as the limiting factors.
