which role does the cane toad play in the hawaiian islands?
native species
invasive species
uncontrolled species
endangered species
Cane toads are not native to the Hawaiian Islands. They were introduced (not naturally occurring), and invasive species are non - native species that cause harm. Uncontrolled species is a very broad and not a standard ecological term for this context. Endangered species are at risk of extinction, which is not the case for cane toads in Hawaii. Since they are non - native and cause ecological disruption (e.g., by preying on native species and having few natural predators in the new environment), they fit the invasive species category.
