Ask yourselves, what kind of bear is best? That's debatable. I'd like to hear the two schools of thought.

I want them to bring back the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Triceratops so they can have a fight.
I've always wanted to know who'd win.

That's right! Put those bears in the ultra-conservative parts of the State first.

SETI_listener,

Brown bears would have a very difficult time surviving in present day California.

Just a quick question....Have you spoken to any aliens lately?

Only way the plan will work! Remove the last bastion of intelligence from the state then any cockamamie plan that sounds good goes forward, including putting the brown bear in the most populous state.

This thread is from the Nature forum. As I commented then, not real keen on this idea, there are things to consider. The grizzly is a much different animal than is the black bear.

It will happen eventually. No one needs to do anything to make it happen.

They never left. And now they are literally taking over.

In LA, there are incidents in built up areas frequently.

The Bay Area will soon experience this as well.
