Dear student,
Any species growing exponentially under unlimited resource
conditions can reach enormous population density in a short time If
we do not check the resources and they become unlimited , then as
Darwin said a slow growing elephant could also reach an enormous
population if the resources supplied are unlimited for its growth
in its habitat
