Con la notizia del terribile lupo che viene parzialmente rianimato, come ti sentiresti per il gigantesco cervo irlandese che vagava il paesaggio?

If it tastes like standard venison then I’m in.
If you hit one with your car, is it worse than hitting a moose?
I would love it! However their habitat no longer exists, they mainly ate a specific type of moss which is very rare now so it might not be possible. However if it is it would be great they look amazing!
Just to clarify, the dire wolf news is clickbait. Those pups aren’t the same genus. But yes I would love to see a return of bigger Irish animals!
A yes, as it wanders majestically through Ash Drive, over Brooke Close and smells the freedom as it prances up Orchard way.
Good eatin?
You just know it would only be 5 minutes before the scangers start keeping them as pets
Everyone would need some massive SUV then. Imagine hitting one of those in an Avensis.
Do the people saying yes know just *how* big these things were?
It’d be cool, but Ireland isn’t the same as it was. It’d be unfair to them and for humans to let them loose into a country full of vehicles, walls and towns.
They’d get caught in the trees and die out again
I imagine these things were around when the terrain in Ireland was very different and not as ecologically dead as it is today. So it probably won’t be a good idea putting a gigantic animal in an ecosystem that can’t support it.
There’s a reason why a lot of these megafauna went extinct and things aren’t getting any better for them. Creating some kind of hybrid mutant to mimic an extinct animal only for it to suffer extinction all over again is unethical.
Ireland doesn’t have the habitat to reintroduce any type of large mammal and that’s just a fact we have to live with unfortunately. We can’t have back wolves, lynxes, bears, or various other things, also including native animals that actually died due to natural selection (Their antlers grew too large for forest density at the time). There’s no reason to even consider this.
The Healy Rae’s build Jurassic Pairc, reviving lost and extinct Irish animals like the giant Irish deer and the Celtic tiger.
