刺猬如何从人见人爱的宠物变成害虫的

谁喜欢刺猬，请举手。可爱的带刺小动物。很多人把刺猬当作宠物来养。近两个世纪前也是如此。刺猬被从英国带到了新西兰。因此，欧洲刺猬被认为是新环境中的入侵物种。

什么是入侵性物种？让我给你举个例子。我们都熟悉迪斯尼的动画片。这就像灰姑娘出现在彼得潘的梦幻岛一样。她是如此的神秘，甚至连虎克船长都不知道她是谁，该如何对待她。这使得灰姑娘可以做任何她想做的事。有时，这种情况发生在自然界，这种动物被称为入侵物种。

由于新西兰缺乏自然捕食者，入侵的刺猬想吃什么就吃什么。因此，蜥蜴、昆虫和鸟蛋都成为它们的零食。
由于这些刺猬的数量太多，本地动物的数量急剧下降︎. 现在是时候采取行动, 减少新西兰的"原住民"本地小动物数量了。新西兰目前正试图在2050年前从生态系统中清除所有引进的捕食者--以使本地野生动物能够蓬勃发展。

OK, hands up who loves hedgehogs. Cute little spiny animals. Lots of people keep hedgehogs as pets. The same was true almost two centuries ago. Hedgehogs were brought over from Britain to New Zealand. Thus, European hedgehogs are considered invasive species in the new environment.

What is an invasive species? Let me give you an example. We are all familiar with Disney animations. It is just like Cinderella appearing in Peter Pan’s Neverland. She’s so mysterious that even Captain Hook doesn’t know who she is and what to do with her. This allows Cinderella to do whatever she wants. Sometimes, this happens in the natural world, and such animals are called invasive species.

Due to the lack of natural predators in New Zealand, invasive hedgehogs eat whatever they want. Thus, lizards, insects, and birds’ eggs become their snacks.
Since there are so many of these gobblers, the number of native animals has dropped drastically︎. It is time to act and reduce ︎the number of settlers in New Zealand. New Zealand is currently attempting to remove all introduced predators from the ecosystem by 2050 – to allow native wildlife to flourish.
