    Standing in the way of this vision to rewild America are the big cattle owners who have fenced off millions of acres of land as private property. They are a powerful source of opposition to any changes in the status quo, who would like to continue with their extremely privileged way of life without any challenges to it. They like their horse-riding, hunting ways to continue unchallenged for ever.

    Kuwait and other Arabian countries need to re wild . There’s such a small amount of projects to re wild these places even when hunting there is one of the highest rates in the world. The Arabian leopard oryx and gazelles used to go all across the Arabian peninsula asiatic cheetahs too. I’m Kuwaiti and I’d just love to see actual mammals instead of just snakes lizards and feral cats. We used to have asiatic cheetahs the Arabian oryx and even the Arabian leopard at one point. But they all went extinct on our land. So if you have the power to. Please we need more animals in Kuwait!

    The proper cats to re-introduce to Europe are the Indian Lion, which was native to the Balkans until 2000 years ago, and the Anatolian or Persian Leopard, could be introduced for example in central Spain where horses, bison and Aurochs are being introduced as we speak, could ultimately give rise to a real Serengeti-like ecosystem. The only problem - would the population agree?

    I may be onto somethings: 1. Thylacoleo is the insipration behind the Drop Bear (According to cave art Thylacoleo may have killed prey in a drop kill method like the drop bear, plus some have depicted them attacking humans in the drop kill way) 2. Procoptodon is the inspiration behind the Yowie (A massive Kangaroo on 2 feet looking you in the eye at night? Not hard to deny!) 3. Diprotodon is the inspiration behind the Bunyip (Diprotodon may have lived in swamps. Myths sometimes add false details to make it more mythical...if thats the correct word) 3. Megalania is the inspiration behind the Australian T Rex thing (Myths sometimes add false details as I said. Giant lizards may look like it was standing, plus maybe the first people saw it fighting on two legs.) 4. Wonabi is the inspiration behind the Hoop Snake (Just why not? Myths sometimes add false details as I said) These may seem far fetched, but these myths are thousands of years old. Some false details must have crept in to "mythify" the myth more.
