what is the introduced species in Galapagos Islands?

Answer 1

Like introduced plants, introduced animals have caused great damage to the natural order in the Galápagos Islands. Most of these species were introduced as farm animals, beasts of burden, or pets, but now feral populations of each exist on many of the islands. Carnivores and omnivores, such as cats, dogs, rats and pigs, Prey on endemic species or eat their eggs. Herbivorous species, including cattle, goats, and donkeys, overgraze many of the local plants. Similarly, fire ants have ravaged much of the local flora in areas where they have been introduced. Also, any introduced species may out-compete native species for their natural food supply, resulting in starvation and reduced reproductive output. Eradication programs are underway for the larger mammals, but smaller animals, such as rats, mice and fire ants represent especially difficult situations. Captive breeding programs are underway at the Darwin Station for species, such as the giant tortoise and the land iguana, that are strongly impacted by introduced species.
