Bring elephants to Australia?

That would be pretty sweet, get rid of all the donkeys and camels and bring in some cool shit

Imagine a Komodo Dagon walking around eating wild pigs.

I mean we're not going to see elephants everywhere like the cane toad, sure.... but....

They'd be easier to shoot than deer though, Worm. Your kill rate would go through the roof.
