Invasive Species Have Led to a Third of Animal Extinctions Since 1500

 

 

1. The rosy wolfsnail or 'cannibal snail': Introduced from the Southeast
U.S. to islands around the Pacific, including Hawaii, to wipe out the

native Hawaiian snails and contribute to driving out dozens of snail species
in the wider Pacific.
