Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cheatgrass and Burmese pythons are both examples of invasive species. Cheatgrass is a non-native species that has spread rapidly across the western U.S., causing ecological damage and increasing the risk of wildfires. Burmese pythons are also non-native to the U.S. and have become a major problem in the Everglades, where they prey on native wildlife and disrupt the ecosystem. The other choices (A, B, and C) include at least one species that is not invasive (red-cockaded woodpeckers, cod, and snowshoe hares) or are not necessarily considered invasive in all contexts (kudzu).
