I came up with a very off the wall idea
Introduction of cheetahs into Australia.
I thought of it because the niche that cheetahs fall into isn’t really filled here. We don’t have any large land predators and it seemed at first glance that they might do well here without competition.
I’d like you guys to imagine this hypothetical situation.
think about what kind of consequences it might have.
and
how would they fair in our environment?
would they be able to live and breed in the wild?
what part of Australia would be ideal what part would not be.
what prey would they choose?
how would they impact the other animals here and in what ways.
would they compete with other feral animals?
and which animals would be most affected
how would a wild population of cheetahs affect the people and farmers. would they become a problem or leave them alone do you think?
whatever else you can think of.
Over half of Australia’s native marsupials are in danger. The introduction of cheetahs could push several species nearer to extinction.
In Britain we are carefully re-introducing beavers into the wild and are considering doing the same for wolves. However these were originally British wild animals anyway and so re-introduction is quite reasonable.
I cannot imagine that the authorities in Australia would consider introducing cheetahs for one moment.
Insane….silly & immature.
& DANGEROUS & of course,illegal=ensured by sane responsible adults.
