I saw the whole thing, the sabertooth was definitely at fault, plus Dick was hung over. Nothing worse for a ***** than a hungover ****.

"The aim of this project is to return mammal species not seen in their natural habitat for over 90 years in Sturt National Park," he says Where they will be hunted and eaten by foxes and cats.

Why are rabbits a problem? Are they predators down there? Given the kind of wildlife they have I guess it wouldn’t surprise me.

The headline got me; I was hoping it to have been the thylacine.
I was pulling for the moa.

I think it said that Rabbits eat too much of the plant food and make more dry desert.

Were there any examples of Dinornis robustus on the mainland?

Those arent ordinary rabbits look at the fangs!!

Haha, you and me both, I thought they had finally found conclusive proof they were still around, after all the tantalizing ‘sightings’ over the years.

Sad to say, the moa is no moa.

Looks like the marsupial equivalent of a rat (rodent).

I was hoping it was the Tasmanian Wolf, not some frickin' gerbil.

"Why are rabbits a problem?"
In Texas, 12 rabbits eat as much as a cow. In Oz, the rabbits over populated and eat up most of the native grass.

>> but when I was a kid they were considered separate. Same went for the change in status of Protista<<
Worst part of going back to school later in life isn't learning new information; it's having to learn the new classifications and renamings of old, information, already learned. Had some problems with some adult classes years ago, until I realized they were using revised terminology to "teach" me what I already knew.
Over 25+ years of hospital work, I had to keep relearning new terms for old things, e.g. bed sores uh pressure sores uh decubitus ulcers uh ...; oh, you get the idea.
None of it did anything to change prevention, diagnosis, or treatment; but lord help the hapless care giver who used other than the current terminology. Now, 20 more years later, I have no idea what they call them.

“locally extinct “ Locally is the key word. It’s a good way for tree huggers to pretend something is near actual extinction. There are no cattle around my house and haven’t been for years so they are locally extinct.
