All three videos were interesting. I can relate to the third video about stink bugs. We get them every year and I can't stand the site of them. I don't think they really stink while alive, but I have heard that when you smash them they stink. It is ironic that the one predator in the video that liked them was the skunk. Maybe everybody in the infested areas should have pet skunks.
The first video does make me stop to think, is man really the most destructive, invasive species? We have done a major amount of damage to the planet over the years. Maybe it is best to just leave things alond and let nature figure out the answer to problems rather than introducing new species to an ecosystem and making matters even worse.
The second video about bringing 24 rabbits to Australia and them becoming such a problem is just sad. What makes me upset about this is that after watching the video I looked up more information about it online and found out all the measures that are taken to control the rabbit outbreak. I also found out that they were originally brought to Australia for the sole purpose of hunting. They are labeled as pests. I have never seen them as pests even though they eat my flowers and have tried, but not succeeded, to get into my garden. Instead of infecting them or or shooting them in Australia, they should come up with some way of making them sterile.
