It's Wikipedia so take it with a grain of salt, but apparently they are all confined to a single park where they have grown from 20 individuals to around 10,000 since 1849. They are used exclusively for sport hunting and aboriginal subsistence hunting, and apparently the largest herd outside of Australia is only 500, so yes I would say they are doing extremely well there. |

They are not thriving in florida, they are keeping up a small population in a small area of the state and have been for a long time. |

Species that are endangered in their home range but thriving where they have been introduced. |

Maybe he's asking if there's a greater meaning in talking about it, say perhaps to think about introducing critically endangered species into other less hostile or more spacious bountiful places as a way to preserve them. Mind you, I just took the thread to be about what it says, for interest's own sake. |
