Beware the Burmese Pythons: And Other Invasive Animal Species Kaner Etta
A kid-friendly introduction to invasive animal species that explores how they got into new ecosystems and the damage they've caused. But it can be! It might not seem like a big deal when a non-native animal species finds its way to another environment.
Here's an intriguing look at 10 of these species from around the world --- from tiny cactus moths to mighty Burmese pythons --- and the problems they're causing. Invasive species reproduce quickly and often have no natural predators, allowing them to overtake native species, and even destroy the ecosystem of their new home. As each section explains, humans were responsible for bringing all these animals to their new locations.
And now it's up to humans to do something about it! In this unique, highly visual book, Etta Kaner's accessible text and Phil Nicholls's vibrant art reveal a fascinating world of "aliens" that invade new habitats.
