Not really. From ants to bears animals eat what they need to survive. Maybe you could say that about locust and a few outliers. There is a word called "homeostasis" that nature adheres to or eventually auto-corrects to. Nature has balance.
That's the new-age Gaia theory stuff you're talking about there. In conventional terms, homeostasis refers to an individual organism's ability to maintain an optimal internal balance of temperature, fluids, etc, not an ecosystem's ability to maintain some sort of balance.
No, the only thing limiting the spread of any life form is the presence of predators and a lack of resources. With limitless resources and no predators, life spreads indefinitely.
Hey my dude you just proved my point, I am not talking about Gaia. I am talking about balance, equilibrium.
Before humans upset the balance the predators and resources all balanced each other. When one variable became out of whack the system corrected. It isn't fucking meta physics, it's a simple math equation. Whales eat too many fish, less whales are made. Wolves eat too many deer and they start killing each other for territory and resources, hence less wolves. It all balances out, equilibrium. Real simple logic.
My point is also born out by the fact that the human population is predicted to peak out at 9-10 billion at most. We won't be able to grow past that on earth. Not in 100 years, not in 1,000 years.
Even this whole bullshit Clown World will eventually seek a state of equilibrium because it can not grow forever. The USSR did this. It had to auto correct to a more natural state. The CCP will also go extinct and allow China to reach a more natural equilibrium, or homeostasis. All things must be in balance, the more out of balance they become the stronger forces attempt to pull it back to center, AKA equilibrium.
Like I said, animals take everything they can until something stops them. Even in your wolves example, they take all the deer they can until a lack of deer stops them, or until a bigger wolf stops them. You can call that balance if you want, but let's not pretend that the wolves are just eating what they need to survive. No, they're eating everything they can get their jaws around. If they could, they'd eat until they puke, and then they'd eat the puke (source: I have a dog).
Animals take everything they can until something stops them. Just like these rioters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_hypothesis -- This is the theory that life on Earth exists in an equilibrium.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostasis -- This is the biological mechanism by which a single organism maintains its temperature and chemical balance.
