I have a problem with the elephants repopulating. We have some fairly big cats in the wooded areas here. They often attack people jogging at least once or twice a year. I would think that they would start getting bigger and going for larger meat sources. (We have a lot of wild rabbits here too that I have seen running by the hundreds.)
Here is something scary. There are really big meat eating vultures here that get bigger with the more meat that they eat. Some of them eat cats and small dogs! Can you imagine how big they could get if they were to have a feast for years?
