Reminds me of a conversation that some guy claimed to have had with a state natural resources biologist, I think it was in Colorado. "How many deer does a cougar kill?" "About one a week" "How many cougar are in our state?" "About 20,000" "So cougar kill a million deer a year?" "That's not possible!" "But it's what you just told me" If the above represents the current situation, what was it like before human intervention lowered the predator population?
