jan 1, 1870 - Wallaby
Description:
Wallabies were brought to New Zealand from Australia in the late 1800s for sport, hunting, and the skin trade. Thriving without natural predators, they are now a major pest. They devastate native forests, prevent plant regeneration, and compete with livestock for grazing, costing New Zealand tens of millions of dollars annually.Added to timeline:
