Ok, so Jaguars were very present in Flordia until humans wiped them out. Not only are they a natural creature that could hunt invasive species such as Boas and Boars, but they would also fill an important role as a natural apex predator on land.

They are a lynx species but they don’t have the stereotypical long tufts on their ears like most people think of. They are relatively common to see even in suburban areas in Fl
Yeah I grew up in Central Florida years ago, but didn’t know much of what a lynx looked like so I just assumed similar to a bobcat, haha. There used to be a camping spot called camp cozy 2 or 3 miles down the trail that was a half mile from any other campsite. Would go out there whenever I could get a work group together, but seeing wildlife was common. You’d get black bears standing on their hind legs hiding behind trees to peak at your campsite and figure out what’s going on. Also when it’s hot and muggy, the springs feel cold as all hell so it’s a great relief.
