Non-native Species
Imagine trying to find your way in a new city where you don't speak the language or know the local customs. This situation is similar to how a non-native species finds itself when it lives outside its native distributional range. Just as you might struggle to navigate unfamiliar streets and adapt to the new environment, a non-native species must adapt to an ecosystem that is not its original home, potentially causing disruptions as it interacts with the existing flora and fauna.
