More than 300 plants and animals on the list, 

will the will to round them up be the same as the human species?

my opinion, I think not.

Only Erectus Falangus Viagerus can be included because of recent intrduction to the country.

Some of that species have evolved into Erectus Falangus Cialusus it seems.

Most are elderly specimens and unlikely to actually breed so are not considered a major threat.

What's the fuss about? Just teach those 'invasive aliens' to do the national anthem twice daily, problem solved.

[worgeordie]

Most of those plants and animals on the list have already

been here a very long time,and only now they have noticed?

 

They are well integrated into the Thai habitat,and I would

say nearly impossible to eradicate,so they left it too late.

Rattus Norvegicus?  I imagine he has been here for at least 200 years, perhaps much longer.  Took a while to notice him.  He and  Rattus Rattus are the two commonest rats in the world.  And I think they both are in the whole world.  RR gas a longer thin tail and climbs a lot. RN has a shorter thicker tail and generally bigger.  Calling one a black rat and one a brown rat is nonsense.  They both can be any colour.  Most rats I see here on road sides etc I think are R.N.

But highly prized in Isaan for their short life span.

Many of them are great hoarders as well during their middle years of life and often leave piles of supplies when they die. 

Some are not and this can cause great consternation when their keepers can't locate the food store.

Some of us pack rats think we have been very clever hiding our winter store.  We always hope no other rat works out how to access it.
