RE: Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were introduced to Australia for sport hunting in the 19th century, but ended up being responsible for the extinction of several native species, including the desert rat-kangaroo (Caloprymnus campestris)
That makes sense, but I'm still on the fence. Need to see some more actual cases, which we might see here.
More cases is always better. It will be interesting to see if Australia ever tried to reintroduce the devil back to the mainland, and if they ever do, I will surely look closely at the development.
Yeah for sure. I suppose Australia is a good place to conduct those experiments. If things go haywire, they are at least confined to the borders of the "island".
Hehe, that's true. But the thing is that the scenario you're imagining where the devils spread to most part of the island is more close to what nature was before humans intervened than what it is like now.
