That, humans drove them extinct in some       places and, by collecting & trading in them, introduced them to       new areas. Or swamped local gene pools with imported members.                                          -- --              https://jtem.tumblr.com/post/637988555155701760              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
