Ok, so Jaguars were very present in Flordia until humans wiped them out. Not only are they a natural creature that could hunt invasive species such as Boas and Boars, but they would also fill an important role as a natural apex predator on land.

    Apparently the North American Jaguar went extinct like 7000 years ago. So now it’s just Florida Panthers (puma as you said) and bobcats, which I think might be lynx related? Not sure. I know I used to see those down in wekiwa near the springs/hiking trails.

      Yes, the video that inspired the meme states Red Wolves and reintroducing Panthers would be the safest way. But im taking the extreme third option xD. Also, I believe Bobcats are the northern sub species of Lynx or vice versa.
