    Winner of the “most penis euphemisms in one name” award.

      Top contenders:

      Red-cockaded Woodpecker — “cockaded” refers to a ribbon or rosette ornament once worn on hats, not anatomy.

      Cock-of-the-rock — sounds like a tavern name invented by a teenager.

      Dickcissel — often cited as the funniest North American bird name. “Dick” was historically a common nickname for a male bird.

      Bush Thick-knee — not penis-related, but frequently gets laughs.

      Rufous-naped Lark — harmless, but “rufous-naped” is often misread at a glance. Shag — in British English, perfectly normal; elsewhere, not so much.

      Cockatoo — contains “cock,” though the name comes from Malay, not English.

      Woodcock — another classic.

      Black-cockatoo and other cockatoos — bonus points for stacking “cock” into longer names.

  American Bison, too. The repopulation of American bison (often called buffalo) is one of the most successful repopulation efforts in history. The reason you’re able to order buffalo burgers at your local hipster burger joint is because American bison is no longer endangered. The population has come from less than 1000 total bison (all privately owned by a handful of conservationists) to over 400k today.

    I had a Bison meatloaf once that was so good. It’s so much lighter than beef. It was like eating a meat cloud.

    I saw on Ted Turner’s wiki page that he helped with that.

  The irony of all ironies is how similar the words “conservation” and “conservative” are.

    That’s because the root of both is to converse. To keep things the way they are.

    Politics gets in the way of that reality since they don’t actively want to keep it the same, they actually want to regress back to previous times they can exploit personally.

  I can add to that: the cormorant population in my country, Denmark, used to be endangered and now they are fucking everywhere. We also used to almost have the stork go extinct. For many years we had like 6 breeding pairs left. Now we have 26!

  And we brought back beavers. Our otter population is growing too and we have wolves now, which sadly, is a controversial subject. A lot of lobbyist in the farming community (farmers are basically the closest we get to the marfia here) are trying to convince the population that wolves don’t belong in Denmark and should be eradicated. People fall for it because they are scared for their kids. Meanwhile I’m over here like: 🫠 you guys are aware that the only reason they’ve started coming closer to cities is because some of you retarded fucks are feeding them and also, farmers are killing our nature so there’s less food for wildlife in the countryside. That’s why wolves are moving closer to cities.

  I still have great hopes for our wolf population. Our newly elected government is planning on cracking down hard on farming after 40 years of these assholes fuckign around and destroying my country with their poisons and pigshit and penicillin abuses etc etc. Finally, someone is gonna hold these psychos accountable. I am very excited for our wildlife because we still have time to save it. But if we don’t do something now, I fear that within the next 10 to 20 years, our natural ecosystems will be erased. It is insane to have grown up in a time where we used to have a much healthier nature and gradually I have seen species disappear completely. Species that used to be everywhere.

  But there are still many passionate people who are fighting to preserve and save nature and they are having way more wins in recent years than they have had for decades. So yay!

  None of that is worldwide.
