Giant land snails!! They're soooo sooooo cuttteeee, but also unfortunately sooo destructive here.

That was incredibly strange, but it only slightly tarnished the reputation of giant land snails for me 😌

Cassowary. Giant dinosaur bird that will lunge at you get first with razor sharp talons. But looks cool and prehistoric. One of the few creatures that terrify zoo keepers as they are smart enough to be evil but not smart enough to be tamed

Raccoons! I can't believe we don't already have them here!!

[–] lurkeymclerkface@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

They aren't nearly as cool as you are imagining. They break into your trashcan and shit everywhere. Also their shit carries a bunch of diseases. They also attack your pets.

Pretending that they’d have a good life here: koalas and elephants.

Tarantulas. We don't have any.

[–] Eczpurt@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Platypus would be cool, or African land snails

fedposting but it's the EPA

I need sloths, hummingbirds, monarch butterflies, raccoons and orang utans in my life, please.

red pandas.

also pandas.

samoyeds too.

cockatiels, elephant seals, blue whales and giant squids aren't bad either.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Hedgehogs or stoats. They're delightful little critters in their own ways I love them both

[–] SootySootySoot@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Small fluffy mammals of any kind are always fun. Pangolins or Armadillos though would be fun.

Cane toads.

[–] tubbadu@lemmy.kde.social 2 points 2 years ago

Nutrias. Oh wait, they're already here!

[–] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

They're not non-native, but I'd love to introduce more mountain lions if they could be adapted to this sprawl. There's way too many deer and feral cats around here.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Humans! ..... oh no wait ... we already did that one

[–] Papanca@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

They wished for that hundreds of thousands of years ago, so be careful what you wish for

[–] the_kid@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

parrots bird-bouncy

very jealous of Australia

[–] platypuspup@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Hedgehogs. Damn cute and eat slugs and snails.
