Invasive Mammals
Invasive Species
Reading Level: 4
Interest Level: 4-6
When a species is introduced to a new habitat, the sequence of events that follows exhibits the fragility of the food chain and the connections between all living organisms. In Invasive Mammals, cases like the rabbit in Australia provide evidence to readers of how adaptations give some animals advantages over others. The causes and effects of human interaction teach students to appreciate their impact on the environment and what can be done when invasive species start to take over.
