It's #MammalMonday...& a #MongooseMonday, at that! This one was caught on O'ahu...definitely where it doesn't belong! Invasive mammals are a huge problem on islands where they have been introduced (accidentally or purposely), wreaking havoc on native wildlife & habitats (by eating them or out-competing them). There are a variety of invasive removal programmes established around the world to attempt to restore a more natural/original order, hopefully allowing native species recover. #invasivespecies #mongoose #trap #mammaltrapping #pestcontrol #speciesrecovery #ecology #conservation #scicomm (at Waimanalo Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3-77Jgf85/?igshid=6knuqnarqiha
