[glazed]

The irony that we humans are the most invasive is not lost on me

[mmsnake]

Invasive species: I'm about to end this man's whole species.

Nobody:


Australia: y’all want some poisonous toads

[AzlianaLyana]

That last part holds true. Everything plays a crucial role. Let's not mess it up just so we can 'take care' of our problems.

You forgot to mention the main invasive species on this planet - human.

[mooseknuckle]

I guess the same thing could be said about

One case of an invasive species disturbing native species is the common green iguana invading the Grand Cayman blue iguana's habitat. The blue iguana is endangered as a result of the green iguana. Rats also injure its hatchlings and threatened by feral cats and roaming dogs. It's sad to see the decline of a beautiful lizard. Another instance is the American crocodile in the Cuban croc habitat. Cuban crocs are decreasing in population due to breeding with American crocs and hunting by humans. Its restricted habitat makes it very vulnerable

My 4yr old brother loves you guys because he is in love with animals he has almost every single toy animal in the world.

Why does the impact always have to be evaluated in monetary value?
