Nicola Tesla describing modern phones in 1926

Yes, remarkable isn't it ? - how numerous species of marine and terrestrial lifeforms have been moving outside their natural habitats over the last 10/15 years. Just to inform the grossly ignorant, the majority of animals are restricted to specific habitats and ecosystems according to evolution, heat/cold tolerance's and preferred food supply. Thus, there are severe limitations on moving outside their known natural habitats. Movement via natural growth and hunting grounds is only possible (generally speaking) if the conditions change - for example, if the water temperature changes to suit marine migration of both predator and prey, or the air temperature changes in the case terrestrial life forms. This often has disastrous consequences for herbivorous species where the food source is fixed.

So when we observe tropical species, like estuarian crocodiles, jelly fish stinger species and other tropical marine life moving into sub-tropical waters, it means the water has warmed to above the normal temperature. It has nothing to do with natural population growth or expansion of hunting grounds. That is a trait common to humans and not animals - generally speaking.

Some of the grossly ignorant call it seasonal migration
Some of the grossly ignorant will argue that this has been going on for more that the last 10/15 years
Some of the grossly ignorant will accept that certain animals adapt better than others and that is why animals like tigers are at home in Siberia or the jungles of Asia
Some of the grossly ignorant will argue that animals have migrated during, before and after the various Ice Ages and will continue to do so with or without human assistance
Some of the grossly ignorant will argue that animals that have not been able to adapt to habitats other than their "natural" habitats will become extinct. One may ask himself why there are no slow gazelles.
Some of the the grossly ignorant will argue that some animals become extinct simply because they lost their battle with homo erectus whilst other animals flourished because of homo erectus

I wonder what Nicola Tesla would have thought about this
