Lions and Elephants Roaming the U.S.?
Someday, maybe.
Lions stalking deer in the stubble of a Nebraska corn field. Elephants trumpeting across Colorado’s high plains. Cheetah slouching through the West Texas scrub.
Prominent ecologists are floating an audacious plan that sounds like a Jumanji sequel - transplant African wildlife to the Great Plains of North America.

Lions would be a harder sell, even if they would thin elk herds.
“Lions eat people,” said co-author Josh Donlan of Cornell. “There has to be a pretty serious attitude shift on how you view predators.”
