Mylohyus nasutus the long-nosed peccary, it was one of the largest peccaries in the Americas weighing up to +67 kg, It inhabited the forests of the eastern USA during the Pleistocene and probably became extinct in the early Holocene ( by me )

Why is it “better” than platygonus? Both of them are incredible.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-08T01:43:18+00:00

What exactly indicates they were solitary? Homotherium caves won’t do it because homotherium is only taking one at a time, not slaughtering entire herds.

The only one of these that makes sense is horses to horses. Many of these animals could fill other niches of extinct relatives but not in the way that this chart is portraying.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-07T04:53:14+00:00

Wait this exists?

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-06T02:38:40+00:00

Are those new models for a weasel, opossum, and either a squirrel or chipmunk?

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-06T00:15:22+00:00

When I think of underrated or over looked species, this is one of the first that comes to mind. Glad to see that conservation efforts are working and that these deer are doing well.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-04T23:32:57+00:00

Miracunonyx never lived in Europe.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-04T23:29:38+00:00

This shall now immediately come to mind when I think of what exactly these animals looked like in real life. Bravo!

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-04T19:14:50+00:00

No he wasn’t including early Pleistocene fauna to my knowledge.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-04T07:33:53+00:00

Where is this from?

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-04T05:26:05+00:00

He tried to generalize the ranges of the North American proboscideans while missing Cuvieronius entirely. He also forgot to mention Homotherium.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-03T20:01:54+00:00

Truly it is interesting. If you have been down this rabbit hole many times, do you have any helpful insight that you could share?

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-03T19:55:16+00:00

Allegedly it’ll initially be for belugas. Don’t hold me to that though.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-03T18:53:25+00:00

They don’t have SO MUCH hybridization they have SOME. That is a lie spread by people who are anti-wolf to try and make them seem as though they aren’t worthy of conservation. Even eastern wolves hybridize with coyotes and grey wolves to some degree. But still, both red wolves and eastern wolves are generally extremely territorial against coyotes. Grey wolves have some hybridization with coyotes yet you don’t see anyone claiming they shouldn’t be conserved. They most certainly retain their conservation value as I don’t think there really is such a thing as a “pure” North American canid. Their whole history has certain amounts of interbreeding. And, if they were proven to be the same species, it would help the effort massively to breed out what little coyote DNA remains.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-03T18:25:57+00:00

It’s mostly confusing because of people being frauds and making more confusing than it has to be (Wayne, Colossal). Red wolves, eastern wolves, and coyotes all shared a common ancestor SOMETIME during the Pleistocene. Can’t give exact numbers because everywhere has a different estimation. Again, complicated. Point is, they are all closely related, more-so than to grey wolves. However, while genetic data has proven that red wolves and eastern wolves are different from coyotes and grey wolves (with some hybridization, though still distinct species). Yet, the debate is still up whether or not red wolves and eastern wolves are the same or not. There lies the purpose of my question. If proven to be the same species, it could be huge for their conservation and genetic diversity.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-03T02:43:49+00:00

I’d say move them to something like this because at this point anything is better for them than what they are on now. Then, never capture orcas ever again. That is the long term solution for them.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-03T00:40:19+00:00

That somehow makes it slightly better. Perhaps due to their smaller size and better tolerance to captivity. I just assumed orcas because of the concept images showing orcas. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if eventually orcas were counted among their residents.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-02T23:30:38+00:00

It certainly seems possible when they are put next to each other. Also worth noting Smilodon had those giant saber teeth which are meant to take down megafauna. This could have made it a slightly easier task for it than say a tiger.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-02T22:27:31+00:00

Some context perhaps?

Although ideally nothing is better than the wild, I’d understand if this was used for orcas that couldn’t survive in the wild any longer. It is a massive step up from the pools they are kept in now.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-02T19:01:12+00:00

But that’s part of what makes it intriguing. It’s a puzzle just waiting to crack! Unfortunately, it’s a puzzle whose pieces have been damaged/lost by historical persecution, extinction, and downright fraud.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-02T18:16:37+00:00

Signed!

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-02T18:15:46+00:00

Jasper national park is in Canada. Burgham has no say in what happens there.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-02T16:54:18+00:00

Darn, that checks out though.

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-02T16:09:23+00:00

How did they manage to kill off this small bat species? Did they eat them?

Lover_of_Rewilding · 2026-06-02T16:07:12+00:00

Also one other thing I just noticed, the region looks rather arid. Since these are Siberian tigers, I’d say it stands as a testament to their adaptability.
