There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Maybe this topic has been brought up already but if you could introduce a Big Cat to a new part of the world, would you?
AUSTRALIA - Cheetahs and leopards.
EUROPE (inc. England)- Snow Leopards and Mountain Lions
CARIBBEAN/HAWAII/JAPAN - Ocelots and Jaguars
MADAGASCAR - Servels and Caracals
Also put lions back in Northern Africa and tigers in the Caspian. Mountain Lions back in the Eastern and Midwest USA (they themselves are already starting to do that). Jaguars back in the Southern USA (Texas, Arizona, New Mexico). Amur tigers and leopards in Alaska and Canada.
No, I wouldn't introduce a foreign cat species but I would definitely be ok with reintroducing big cats back to territories they once ruled as long as the reintroduction comes with protection or else what's the point if they are just going to run up against the same issues that made them functionally extinct in those locations.
