Sure, you can assess the scale of animals pretty good by watching such photos but I cant stop feeling ashamed every time I see relicts of the past like that! We´re a fucked up species. And the sad thing is, although many efforts are being made for enviromental protection, despite all the obvious signs, we didn´t learn a lot from the past.

 

What do you mean "hybris?"
If you mean "hybrids" that is not true at all.
That time there where no man made fences and corridors where open to roam. The gene pool was much more diverse back then compared to now.
Also, look how much better we are as a species. Animals are now protected and their #'s are growing. Poaching still exists but it does in a much less dramatic way, poachers are prosecuted and illegal trade is strictly in the black market. Animals that are/where put on the endangered species list are making great comebacks from the brinks of extinction. While humans still do horrible things, we are slowly changing and its showing. Change doesn't happen over night, but you can see it happening. Just look at the 400,000 person march in NYC the past two days, all for the sake of saving the environment.
