I always really wanted to release a bunch of Komodo dragons in there, I think they'd thrive. They'd cull the population of.. Many animals! Including Floridians. I think that'd be good for us, as humans I mean. Keeps us on our toes. I think we could have a very healthy Komodo dragon population in the Florida swamps before 2050. I bet they adapt super well. They have to! They always do. Good thing, not growing too complacent in ones superpredatorialism. Let's put the beef where our mouths are, let the dragons prey on the slower ones, cull human population quite organically. It's really not that far off from what we used to do like 20KYA or so. Back then we had snub nosed bears and let me tell you, they were no girl scout cookies either!
I've always been partial to releasing Siberian Tigers in North America.
