A study by Mexico’s top university has revealed that at least 800 species of wildlife will be adversely affected by President Trump’s planned 2,000-mile border wall with Mexico.
Research published by ecologists from the Mexican National Autonomous University has shown that an impassable physical barrier placed into ecosystems inhabited by jaguars, black bears and bighorn sheep will so disrupt patterns of migration as to cause a “natural catastrophe.”
“The U.S.-Mexico border is made up of mountains, jungle, coastline and many other diverse ecosystems,” Professor Gerardo Ceballos, who led the investigation published last week, told Fox News. “Wildlife has populated these regions for millions of years, and has always had freedom of movement to hunt, reproduce and migrate. To make these animals suffer as a result of man’s political agenda is entirely immoral.”
Of the 800 species that will be affected by President Trump’s border wall, 140 are in danger of extinction, including the bald eagle, grey wolf, armadillo and jaguar, a big cat of which remain only 10 in the highlands of the Sonora Desert that straddle Arizona.

AMERICAN LIVES are at steak!
It will become a wonderful challenge for lizards, ants, birds. The best ones will survive.
I’d like to throw all the delta smelt over the wall southward.
wetbackus mexicanus, among others
And that’s what’s eating us.
Yawn... I am far more interested in American lives at risk if we do not build the wall.
Good. So Mexico needs to remove its own southern wall for the same reason.
Two words.
“Species adaptation”.
Or three words for Joe Biden.
Next.
Oh great!
More perts who have resigned, now wanting to set us straight.
Listen up, if you can get your positions back, be perts again.
We have no use for you.
“Over 90 percent, over, way over 90 percent, of the species that have ever lived on this planet, ever lived, are gone. Wooosh! They’re extinct. We didn’t kill them all. They just disappeared. That’s what nature does. They disappear these days at the rate of 25 a day—and I mean regardless of our behavior. Irrespective of how we act on this planet, 25 species that were here today will be gone tomorrow. Let them go gracefully. Leave Nature alone.” - George Carlin
oh no..not those...so rare indeed..only seen at night.
Screw 800 species and those “experts”. The country is endangered.
Eagles? I’ve lived in Arizona for fifty years and all the eagles I’ve seen can fly. I am not aware of any walking eagles but the again, I only lived within rifle shot of the border for even years. I might have missed them.

I saw my typo just as I clicked that I had previewed...
Thanks!
The bald eagle is a kinda poor example IMO.
I thought the bald eagle was de-listed? Also bald eagles require bodies of water, with tall trees near by for roosting and observing, that have fish in them. I’m not sure of the bodies of water that will be affected by a wall across the desert that can support a bald eagle population.
What a steaming pile.
I’m impressed, the wall will be so tall eagles
won’t be able to fly over it!
