[QUOTE="YoungPatriot, post: 2470582, member: 846214"] ...they're not native to considered introduce? Like rats. Rats have managed to colonize every continent in the world with the exception of Antartica. They've done this through man and their sheer brilliance, but man didn't intend to introduce them. They managed to find their way onto ship's and other means of transport, so what is this type of movement by animals called? Black rats, brown rats, and house mice colonising the world is quite similar to animals finding their way to a new land by rafts of vegetation. What do you guys think? Sure, some of you might argue that if it weren't for humans travelling, then old world rats and mice wouldn't have found their way into the New world, but then again man didn't force rats into the new world, they got themselves there by stowing away on ships of man. So is the behaviour of these rodents considered natural? As natural as say bats colonising new islands or iguanas colonising islands via rafts of floating vegetation. [/QUOTE]
