    but introduce predators (like humans) and oh, would you look at that… extinction!

    Mammalian mega-fauna stil exists (and thrives) on the continent where human beings literally evolved.

        The White Rhino has survived on this continent for thousands of years, until it was exposed to capitalist exploitation. Ie, the parasitic wealth-and-power accumulation of a tiny minority of the human race.

              You do understand that, unlike most wild animals, humans change at a much faster rate, right?

              The point isn’t “humans did this (though admittedly I did throw a little jab in there)”, the point is “drastically changing an environment can have devastating consequences”.
