How would the natural world change if all humans suddenly vanished?

Mainly talking about animals and plants.

Some theories I have read:

- Wild pig population would explode
- Dogs might go extinct. At a minimum they would eventually become a single breed (pariah dog)
- Dairy cows would die out
- Corn, seedless bananas, avocados would disappear

Corn subsidies would still get paid though.

National Geographic or maybe History channel before it went full retard, had a miniseries about this. The consensus was that in a few thousand years there would be very little evidence we were ever here, apart from the ruins of a few megastructures like Hoover Dam.

There was a show on this a few years ago. Eventually everything would revert back to nature and there’d be animals all over the damn place.

How would any of that happen? Those things existed before humans. Sure some wouldn't survive, especially certain breeds not capable naturally of living in the wild, but they wouldn't all go extinct.

I watched it. IT was like 20-50 years and you wouldnt be able to tell we were here except metropolis cities with buildings taller than a few stories.
