Both. They introduced Cane toads to eat Cane beetles.

Released about 100 in 1935 and they now have over 200 million of them, and they didn't even sort out the beetle problem.

 


Optimistic as ever

Rabbits in Australia were a massive problem. Rabbits somehow have managed to get themselves into more countries without being invited than the English Empire....

Of course this kind of thing is kind of how evolution works. Which makes it very difficult to control long term.

I think its Yellowstone park that reintroduced wolves and experienced a massive environmental shift and improvement, due to the impact it had on water flow of the rivers.

Sounds odd, but worth looking up, just how much the environment changed from the re-introduction of wolves.

No, they'd kill you. Colorado river toad is the psychoactive one.
