A series of sightings suggests the big cats are, against the odds, growing in numbers in New Mexico and Arizona. But Trump’s border wall could yet halt their progress
Oh yeah, birds definitely are a lot more likely to end up in weird places due to large weather events and the like. I think those flamingoes got pushed around by a hurricane, right? Migration fallout events have also caused incredible amounts of birds to get stuck in certain "flyover" areas, sometimes even outside of their migratory range.
Climate change is only going to make these events more common for all types of animals, and we need to get out of the sort of 1930s mindsets of hard range borders and the use of sport hunting for population management. People are going to have to get used to the concept of not being able to just use any land they want for whatever they want all the time, and they'll have to get used to having legal and safety consequences for their actions.
