Are you suggesting wolfs didn’t migrate to different areas and change the ecology with their hunting?

That viruses didn’t spread and wipe out populations of animals?




Yes, I am definitely suggesting wolves (not "wolfs") did not build ships or airplanes and migrate around the world in an astonishingly short amount of time. They migrated slowly, on foot, as they were able to by following food sources, and using land bridges since wolves can't cross oceans.

Same goes for viruses (I'll give you a pass on that one, it's more accepted now than "virii"): they don't float across oceans in a week, unless they're carried by birds (which most aren't).
