Hippos imported to South America by drug lords are recreating Pleistocene ecosystems.

Really.

It's not April 1st yet. I'm not making it up.

The only trouble is, we're living in the Holocene.

Rather then remove the Hippos , what they should do is introduce more of them to increase the genetic diversity of that population.

Not for long, dude! Not. For. Long.

Forget about wolves, I'm starting up a new organization dedicated to introducing Siberian tigers into the Scottish highlands. They should do a good job of mimicing sabre-tooth tigers. They'll keep the deer population under control and the Cairngorms will gain a well-deserved reputation as an "adventure" holiday destination. Wheee!
