RE: Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were introduced to Australia for sport hunting in the 19th century, but ended up being responsible for the extinction of several native species, including the desert rat-kangaroo (Caloprymnus campestris)
This reminded me a lot of the Zebra Mussel invasion of North America (I know not exactly the same thing but its been kind of a hot topic here for the past 3 decades) and I am certain people from every continent/area can bring up a specific story or whatnot. Ultimately, I really liked the post!
Yeah, as mentioned in the post, there are many examples of this from all over the world. It's a lot of the same as the zebra mussel invasion, or the asian carp invasion, but these species are even less seen by regular people, so I'm not sure if as many people care about it, which is unfortunate.
I'm glad you liked the post! And thanks for stopping by :)
No problem! Thanks for the response, the post was a very good read!
You're welcome. Have you been having much trouble with the zebra mussels in your area?
No I don't live anywhere near the affected area but I have family over there and they teach about it in the school system
Ah, alright! ;) I won't bother you by asking if you got any experience with it then.
