polar bears. it's the only animal that likes to eat people. daily life is just too safe and dull.

Without taking into account the environmental impact and viability: Sicilian dwarf elephants. Come on, 1m short elephants, hairier (i.e. fluffier) than their African and Asian counterparts? I want it!

Bonus points: capybaras are native where I live, and a common occurrence in parks. Now imagine those small elephants, plus some capybaras: chilling under the grey sky, taking a bath in the lake in warmer days, gathering together in colder days... come on, it's cuteness overload!

I would love to have a pet capybara, so a local source of wild capybaras would be cool. Also some orangutans. I'm in Utah, so it should probably be fine.

It would be awesome to get woolly mammoths back in the Alps.

Squirrels.

Grew up in Chicago, currently in Phoenix. I miss squirrels.

All the lizards are pretty cool though. They're like desert squirrels.

Capybaras! They are so chill

Fireflies. I could sit on a porch watching fireflies every night of my life

Brontosaurus

In Minnesota... bison. Because it was their native habitat before we killed them all, and because watching jackasses in cars trying to negotiate with 1500lb bison everywhere would be hilarious.

Zebras seem cool. I don't think Texas has any zebras. They can hang out with the horses...? (Idk if they actually get along.)

And giraffes! I want a giraffe to come hang out in my yard and eat some tall leaves.

None. We're still dealing with many other instances of people thinking it's a good idea...

Leopards. There's some faces that need eating here.

I just moved from a place with raccoons to somewhere without them and I miss them. So raccoons. They're funny as fuck.

Giant ground sloths

capybara

Kangaroo. I'm sure they'd thrive and be a pain in the ass but they look cool.

Monkeys. Several species, but specifically pygmy marmosets. What I really want is Borrowers, but since the scientific community refuses to focus research on the actually important things, it feels unlikely in my lifetime. So pygmy marmosets. I want to walk onto my porch, and a troop of teeny little monkeys is chilling out there, living their best lives.

Hedgehogs. They're hilarious

We don't have enough apes in northern europe

Needless to say, raccoons (in Southern Europe).

Pangolins! I'm not sure how well they'd survive in Texas, but if they find fire ants tasty, they might be able to make a dent in the population (they're invasive themselves). Also, being present on another continent might help ensure their survival, especially the species currently critically endangered.

Edit: if they don't have to be extant, then troodontids! They were supposedly smart little raptors. I bet they'd make great pets c:

Here in RI, I will take some of those Japanese Snow Monkeys, and a bunch of Tanuki as well.

Gimme da Red Panda

Koalas. Or maybe sloths. I’d love to see either climbing the trees when I go to the park.

Am from tropical zone so stumble upon capybara will be nice. Though we already have tapir and that creature is rare as heck.

Easy, I'm on vacation around the New Jersey area. Release the Candiru fish. Use your fucking turn signals ass hats.

Tyrannosaurus rex

Honestly foxes. They are so fun to photograph and there are none on Vancouver Island.

Somehow we can get the red panda to replace the raccoon. This is my wish.

Cassowary. Giant dinosaur bird that will lunge at you get first with razor sharp talons. But looks cool and prehistoric. One of the few creatures that terrify zoo keepers as they are smart enough to be evil but not smart enough to be tamed
