Big Game 'Could Roam U.S. Plains'

From the BBC: "If a group of US researchers have their way, lions, cheetahs, elephants and camels could soon roam parts of North America, Nature magazine reports."

Full story here.

My favorite quote from the article: " 'If we only have 10 minutes to present this idea, people think we're nuts' said Harry Greene, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell University, US."

If we'll soon be able to go to North Dakota to see cheetahs and elephants in their natural environment, I guess this means we don't have to go on a safari while we're here.

Bummer. I was really looking forward to that trip.
