I remember way back when......my college days: I took wildlife classes from a world renown Wildlife Professor. Wish I could remember his name. He was a fish biologist. Back in the late 60's and early 70's when everything was new and experimental. He spoke all over the world on reintroduction of animals into the environment. He helped reintroduce the North Sea Otter back along the California Coast. He told the story: they transported 80 North Sea Otters back to the California Coast. 79 died due to :Stress Syndrome. My professor became a specialist in reintroduction of fish. He said when 79 sea otters or 45 big horn sheep die everyone becomes upset. When 200 fish die: no one pays attention. Check back tomorrow and learn about stress syndrome and other adventures.
I wonder if my professor taught people who learned to protect and save these creatures.
