The ecosystems of north and south america are very diverse and they’re are home to many animals that can’t be found naturally anywhere else in the world. Some american animals are very important members of their ecosystem and some american animals are only just hanging on to existence. Even though most american animals are very well suited to life in america, they sometimes pop up in other parts of the world. Of course there are many american animals that are invasive in other parts of the world but i will not be focusing on these animals today. Instead i will be focusing on stories where individual or small groups of american animals have popped up in the UK as i will be going through 5 american animals that have randomly appeared in the UK.
