    Soon, people will see that Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo*.

    …language jokes aside I’m glad to see recovery projects like this popping up all around the world. I see the same deal here with jaguars - people might say “capybaras are cuuuuute!”, but without predation their numbers get huge, and that causes all sorts of problems.

    *This is a grammatically correct sentence, at least in some English dialects, using the following words:

    • Buffalo - some city
    • buffalo - the animal
    • to buffalo - to bully

    Replacing those in the above you get “City animal city animal bullies bullies city animal”; or “the buffaloes of Buffalo, whom the buffaloes of Buffalo buffalo, also buffalo the buffaloes of Buffalo”.
