Wonder what she did with the kid, while she was messing around with the pram? Just leave it in the seat on the bus - no, he won't crawl off the seat. Hand it to a total stranger - would you watch my baby please?
That's actually a pretty good Alpo question.

Seems like most of the invasive species would make for some good eating! Are any of them a 'protected' species or are all of them fair game?
Only one of the species on the list, European Bees, seems like it would be good for the environment.
Except for trout in streams and rivers (not deep lakes or dams) which are closed to fishing for the spawning season......everything else is on the hit list and shot in their hunreds of thousands and still the populations aren't dented.

The Aborigines were the first homo sapian invasives.

The English 'gentleman' set up 'Acclimatisation Societies' in the early 1800's to introduce a lot of these animals and birds to make it 'more like home' different species of monkeys were released at various times as well....thankfully they all died off as did the llamas and alpacas also thankfully.

i cant think that our list looks much different - good intentions in some cases , dumb thinking in others , we have an asia beetle that look like the lady bug that was brought here to eat aphids - they bite - takea chunk of flesh and leave a nasty wound

A Scotsman and his wife walked past a swanky new restaurant ...
"Did you smell that food?" she asked. "It's smells absolutely incredible!"
Being a kind-hearted Scotsman, he thought, "What the heck ... I'll give her a treat!" ...
So, they walked past it again ...

I posted this in another thread but thought I'd make a separate thread on its on.
This is from AI and then on top of all these the list of noxious plants is huge -
Australia has one of the highest numbers of established feral vertebrate species in the world. These animals have been introduced by humans and now live and breed in the wild, often causing major environmental, agricultural, and economic damage.
Mammals
Hoofed Animals (Ungulates)
- Feral Pig (Sus scrofa)
- Feral Goat (Capra hircus)
- Feral Camel (Camelus dromedarius)
- Feral Horse (Brumby) (Equus caballus)
- Feral Donkey (Equus asinus)
- Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)
- Banteng (Bos javanicus)
- Feral Cattle (Bos taurus and Bos indicus)
-
Feral Deer:
- Red Deer
- Fallow Deer
- Sambar Deer
- Rusa Deer
- Chital (Axis Deer)
- Hog Deer
Predators
- Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes)
- Feral Cat (Felis catus)
- Dingo × Domestic Dog Hybrids
- Feral Dogs
Rabbits and Hares
- European Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
- European Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus)
Rodents
- Black Rat (Rattus rattus)
- Brown Rat (Rattus norvegicus)
- House Mouse (Mus musculus)
Birds
- Common Starling
- Common Myna (Indian Myna)
- House Sparrow
- Rock Dove (Feral Pigeon)
- European Blackbird
- European Goldfinch
- Common Greenfinch
- Common Chaffinch
- European Skylark
- Spotted Dove
- Laughing Dove
- Common Pheasant
- Indian Peafowl (feral populations)
- Wild Turkey (localised)
- Mallard Duck (feral populations)
- Domestic Goose (feral populations)
Reptiles
- Asian House Gecko
- Mourning Gecko
- Brahminy Blind Snake
- Red-eared Slider Turtle (small wild populations)
- Green Iguana (isolated incursions, eradication efforts)
Amphibians
- Cane Toad (Rhinella marina) – Australia's most notorious invasive amphibian.
Freshwater Fish
- Common Carp
- Redfin Perch
- Eastern Gambusia (Mosquitofish)
- Brown Trout
- Rainbow Trout
- Goldfish
- Oriental Weatherloach
- Tilapia (restricted populations)
- European Perch
- Roach
- Tench
Marine and Estuarine Species
- Northern Pacific Seastar
- European Green Crab
- Black-striped Mussel (eradicated from Australia)
- Japanese Kelp
- Pacific Oyster (outside its native range)
Invertebrates
Some of Australia's major feral/invasive invertebrates include:
Ants
- Red Imported Fire Ant
- Yellow Crazy Ant
- Electric Ant
- Argentine Ant
Wasps
- European Wasp
Bees
- European Honey Bee (feral colonies)
Snails
- Giant African Snail (eradicated when detected)
- European Garden Snail
Other Invertebrates
- European Wasp
- Portuguese Millipede
- Harlequin Ladybird
- Spotted Lanternfly (not established; under surveillance)
Australia's Most Damaging Feral Vertebrates
These species are generally considered the highest priority for management due to their widespread impacts:
- 🦊 Red Fox
- 🐈 Feral Cat
- 🐇 European Rabbit
- 🐖 Feral Pig
- 🐐 Feral Goat
- 🐪 Feral Camel
- 🐎 Feral Horse (Brumby)
- 🫏 Feral Donkey
- 🐃 Water Buffalo
- 🦌 Feral Deer
- 🐄 Feral Cattle
- 🐕 Feral Dogs
These animals collectively cause billions of dollars in damage each year, affecting:
- Native wildlife through predation and competition.
- Agricultural production through grazing, crop damage, and disease risks.
- Waterways and wetlands through erosion and pollution.
- Cultural heritage sites and fencing.
- Road safety through vehicle collisions.
Australia continues to invest heavily in control programs—including trapping, aerial and ground shooting, baiting, biological control (such as rabbit calicivirus), exclusion fencing, and coordinated regional management—to reduce the impacts of these invasive species.

Iran will NEVER become a "member in good standing" of a civilized world. They're like a rabid dog. The "rightful place" for 90% of their people should be the same.
Iran is in its death throws.... The hard liners know this and are in a corner and are worried about ending up like Mussolini.

Yes that's 68°f and Aussies will be wearing North Face and Sherpa etc clothing and whinging about how cold it is.
A few weeks ago it was whinging about how hot it is.
