There are few places in North America east of the Mississippi River where people can enjoy watching abundant populations of large mammals.
The Great Smoky Mountain National Park currently supports a small population of large mammals in a very limited area of the park.
The National Park Service should modify the landscape of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park by using a combination of clear-cutting, timber thinning, and fire management, so it can support introduced populations of bison, horses, camels, and Siberian tigers.
This would greatly enhance the wildlife viewing opportunities for naturalists, and the park would more closely resemble the American environment as it was during the Pleistocene.
