Actually, dholes already live in Java, an island with 145 million people on it. (I know most of them are in cities but it also means quite of few people live in the rural areas).

True I did say that, but every study available shows dholes prefer hunting ungulates over anything else, and because of their pack behavior, they're less likely to hunt small prey than leopards.

 

I actually wasn't familiar with the story. But I see your point.

 

And Java is a much larger island than Molokai with lots of large native predators.

 

Yes, I am familiar with that. But are you sure it would be the same with dholes?

That was a bad situation where they introduced something that just so happened to love eggs more than rats. (Actually, they don't even eat rats). Regardless of where they live, dholes prefer hunting ungulates over anything else. If you're a pack hunter, you can't exactly live on things like birds full time. (And don't worry, this is the only time I'm even remotely open to something like this.)

 

But, in a new environment nothing like its native land, would it still hunt ungulates or move to a different food source? It's impossible to know, and I think the second is likely.

 

…..only worse, because they’re bigger. Not good for Nene, Koloa and any other ground nesting birds

 

Alright alright everyone, you've made your point, I concede defeat.

 

Hey that’s how we learn, no good idea every happened without making it past the court of public opinion
