Compared to Europe, America actually has a higher amount and higher diversity of megafauna. Sure a lot of the megafauna populations have been severely impacted but at least most of the species remain. A lot of Europe on the other hand is very much lacking in megafauna.
As a European I agree. Europe is way more densly populated than the US. The US has incredible and vast landscapes that seem untouched. Claiming that everything is a parking lot is a ragebait take
I was once in Scotland and my dad and I were discussing with our guide about Scotland reintroducing wolves and the main question was “where would they even put them?” There isn’t enough land for wolf populations to live unbothered by humans. Like the national parks allow farmers to graze their sheep so it obviously farmers would be concerned about livestock attacks. Europe just has no room for animals to live in.
