If you could bring back one extinct animal solely for the impact it would have on the world (considering factors like ecological impact, tourism, any other benefits), what would you pick, and why?

#giant ground sloths #osage oranges are still around and need to be eaten #also i think having more (and more humongous) megafauna might have weird ripple effects on motor vehicle traffic & i want to know what that #would look like #also as an american we need humbling & i think being forced to confront something that much bigger on your (shared) home turf #this is of course assuming that it's a protected species while still being common enough to be a nuisance #misc #polls #i also have slightly-more-than-healthy levels of fear for creatures larger than a whitetail deer post- horse-related trauma #so these things fill me with so much fear & i probably just want to inflict that on other people so i feel less crazy #i never said these were good reasons but i do mean them sincerely #edit: just realized that i'm using super-villain logic for species revitalization. whatever that says about me #animals #prehistoric animals
