before and after shots should at least try to be similar locations/angles/perspectives.

In trying to figure out how you found the PNG, when all I found was the WEBP did (what should have done in the first place) a little reading and found that WEBP was forced on the interweb by The Google and that if a browser indicates it can display WEBP then GIF, JPEG and PNG are all downloaded as WEBP.

Certainly, there are some technical advantages to this (stable release 2018) image format. However, as trying to link to such files from some sites (DU, for example) they are not recognized as images and so (as in OP) displayed as a link rather than pix

Have taken the liberty of using your PNG link to replace the original OP.

Again, thanks! And also thanks for leading me to brush up on image formats.

thats all I had to do! Just paste it into a reply and it usually works. Not sure if I can do that on a tablet, so lets hear it for old (2013 laptop) tech!

There was an over abundance of deer and they were eating the creek side vegetation down to the roots. This caused erosion along the banks.

Bring back the wolves and they controlled the deer population which allowed recovery of the vegetation along the creeks.

Just help nature do it's thing.

Trickle down ecosystem actually works! (As opposed to the economic disaster)

Here's an article with all the wonderfullness that occurred. https://www.yellowstonepark.com/things-to-do/wildlife/wolf-reintroduction-changes-ecosystem/
