The Cane Toad is one of many invasive species that live in Australia. Originally native to South America, Cane Toads were brought to Australia in 1935 and were used to take care of crop destroying Cane Beetles. But instead of helping Australia it is ruining it, by reducing the population of native animals with its poisonous glands and bottomless appetite. The Cane

Toads have a high reproduction rate

making their population explode. But scientists are using a common parasite called the lung worm and putting it in the Cane Toads, scientists believe that the parasite well reduce the reproduction rate by 30%.

While the Cane Toads effect Australia there is a dangerous species that lurks in the waters of the U.S. and its called the Snakehead fish. With no natural predators the snakeheads are able to exp

and and kills the wildlife the lives here. They are brought from Asia into U.S. local fish markets and accidental released into the lakes of the U.S. In 2002 local officials poisoned the waters to kill the fish, but it did not work. Now, Officials have decided to give up killing them and decided to track them keep them from spreading.

Invasive species are a dangerous threat and should be taken likely, for example the rabbits in Australia, they can’t kill people but they can cause massive damage and

cause both environmental and economical problems in Australia. That is the same in theU.S. if we are not carful that what is happening to Australia can happen her

e. Also remember that it is easy to put the species in a new environment but it is impossible to get them out.
