I really wouldn't call nature "hardy" when an entire ecosystem can collapse when you can take one single species out of it

Let's remember that nature is what produced pandas

Though I still agree

    What ecosystem collapses when removing a single creature? Are you talking about pre-holoscene extinction ecosystems? Or are you talking about modern ecosystems (after most of the original biodiversity has already been obliterated, and "removing one species" is actually thousands down on the list of removals)?
