    In the thirties of the 20th century, some traders transported African giant snails to the Hawaiian Islands for human breeding and consumption.

The water in the rice paddies drains down the dense crab holes; Crabs eat fish and shrimp, aquatic weeds, plankton, rice seedlings, and fish in the water, and birds have nothing to eat, and they don't stay here.

    Australian Rabbit Plague (1859).

    Rabbits are not native to Australia, and there were no rabbits there until 1859. But in that year, a farmer brought a herd of hares from England, a total of 24 of them. Little did he know that his move would cause an agricultural disaster.

    In Australia, rabbits have few natural predators, so over the decades this has become a big problem. They eat crops, destroy newly sown seeds, gnaw tender bark and teeth, and burrow into the ground to damage fields and river banks. Nor does fencing prevent them from encroaching on farmers' fields.

    In 1950, a new method of controlling hares was attempted, and a rabbit-killing disease, myxoma---sis, was introduced to Australia. Scientists first transmitted the disease to mosquitoes, and then to rabbits.

    Once myxomatosis was introduced, it spread rapidly throughout the hare herd. In south-eastern Australia, almost 80 percent of the hare herd has been wiped out.

    Hare reproduce very quickly, so it becomes a problem in a very short time. A female rabbit can give birth to 25 rabbits a year.

    The disease was introduced to Europe in 1952 when a French farmer released two rabbits infected with mucus virus. Within a few months it had spread across Europe and even across the sea to the United Kingdom. By the end of 1953, only two rabbits per 1,000 rabbits were still alive in Europe.

    Unexpected disasters.

    In the Antarctic Circle, there is a small island of Marion, which is covered with snow all year round. In 1945, an expedition ship docked on the island, and no one expected that some rats on the expedition ship landed. There were no animals that restricted the breeding of rats, so they developed rapidly on the island, and three years later, the rats infested and it became "Rat Island".

    The islanders immediately appealed to the mainland for help, and when the rescue boat arrived, it brought five domestic cats. No one expected that 30 years later, there would be 6,000 cats on the island, and it would become "Cat Island" again. These cats also no longer feed on rats, and they hunt birds on the island, eating more than 600,000 birds a year.

    In order to protect the birds, the authorities had to send people to hunt cats with guns.

    No animal can preempt natural disasters, and their senses are not the same as ours to perceive small changes. So they're more special.
