Disrupting nature's balanceAnimals play an important role in keeping ecosystems balanced, healthy and strong. Just like humans, animals can respond to imbalance with extreme behavior that can be harmful to the environment. Here are 10 animals that can be bad for the Earth when nature's balance gets disrupted. (Text: Bryan Nelson)

I hate that people think that they have to knock down trees because they're in our way. The fact is, that we are in THEIR way. We are stopping them from growing in a beautiful, natural way.
10 LIBERAL IDIOTS WOULD QUALIFY!
I found this after doing a Google search for photos of animals and I'm pretty dismayed that: a. I took the time to read it and b. it's so horrifically misguided. None of these animals destructive or harmful to the earth in their original habitat. What's harmful is that they have been displaced by humans. I'm glad most of the people responding here realize that.
I just waisted 20 minutes of my life reading most of these dumb *** posts!!! It truely is amazing how STUPID humans are. Yes, everything in nature goes through a cycle!! Just because we are demosticated and have a government dos not make us smart!! Come on our government is ****** and thats why every where is going through a recession!!
lol demosticated
look at what man is doing to earth !
YOU ARE A MORON!
YOU'RE ONE OF THE 10 LIBERAL IDIOTS!!! MAN CANNOT DESTROY THE EARTH! HE IS NOT THAT IMPORTANT!!! GET OVER YOURSELF, YOU HUMANIST FOOL!
Humans ARE the worst thing to this planet. WE are the ones who are destroying it, and nothing else. You are truly an idiot if you do not realize this. Animals are not the ones burning fossil fuels like mad and releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, in addition to logging natural forests to no end, which only adds the amount of CO2 in the air because there are less plants to absorb it. Logging of forests also destroys natural habitats for animals, which causes them to become endangered.... More
I wish I could rate this list 1 star because it is so infuriating that in your ignorance you perpetuate that humans think they know better than mother nature. It is a disturbingly inaccurate list that identifies amazing creatures that have a purpose on this earth as "pests" based on our limited understanding of their scientific contribution. The list should read THE ONE ANIMAL THAT IS DESTROYING THE ENVIRONMENT. How dare you condemn Elephants and Rats and all of these fine intelligent.... More
I've got to respond to this.. Who are we to judge that the small population of elephants left on this planet (no more than 25,000 down from over 3 million just 100 years ago) are BAD for the environment. WE've committed the equivalent of genocide on these spectacular animals and now we have the nerve to judge THEM as bad for the environment. Crazy. Elephants are not the cause of deforestation in Africa that is drought, wars, and a struggle for cheap fuel. Set the record straight. This is an.... More
Its up to each of us to do what we will do if our mind tells us to do it. If you feel humans are bad then you are bad. If you want make a good example of youself in whatever endeavor then do so but only for yourself please. I am sure I will do what I think is right without being forced to do so by you.
Hey if it's too crouded where you live, you can move. Animals are here to eat, play, and to poop, and nothing more, truthfully!
Too many of you are ranting over one another and not addressing the issue at hand. Spend a little more energy on positive change, go out and walk or pick up litter. Spend less time complaining about the problem when it all boils down to Humans, we are overpopulating the environment.
You can't be so stupid as to actually believe what you posted...can you??? WHAT A MORON!
Let's just all commit suicide and get it over with, IDIOT!
is an idiot!ALL ANIMALS CAN THINK AND REASON,JUST NOT WITH US!!!God, whats happening to all the smart people?
Blind resistance to believe logically sound, and scientifically valid information is the definition of environmental ignorance. It is easy for people who are misinformed, informationally lazy, and/or undereducated to take such ignorant stances on these issues. Most of the non-believer rhetoric in here turns down concepts like anthropogenic climate change, conservation and preservation on their faces. The numbers presented here may be debatable, but the concepts are not. The difference comes.... More
are all tree huggers this stupid ?
Ok I wanna be extremely clear on this, there is no debate going on between scientists about if the global warming is caused by humans, they all know it is caused by all of us, and the only reason some of the people believe it hasn't been proven yet is because the oil companies and government in charge don't want to lose the money they are getting so they pay a few scientist to say that we might not be the cause, but all the scientists AROUND THE WORLD ALL agree that WE ARE THE CAUSE. For those.... More
Could you tell all of this to a Volcano?
Humans are an animal, and we contaminate more than anything else on Earth! Duh. :p
Come on people, really, wow. I have heard everything, from UFO's to cloning. We need to live on earth with one thing in mind, we have one chance to make the best of what we got, and to stop making such a big deal out of things we cant change......Life is what YOU make of it, live your life to its fullest and be happy YOUR just still here
Still wondering why zombies didn't take the number one spot. lol
Humans r not animals
Where did you go to school? Better, did you GO to school?
Is it the same retard who posted earlier, saying that humans aren´t animals?????? What are we? Robots???????Where do you think you came from? Oh maybe it was ET that brought you here before he went home. Huum...that´s it.
YOU are the retard. If you want to be an animal, you go right ahead. I can't believe anyone can so STUPID as to not see a difference between humans and every other creature on the planet. UNBELIEVEABLE!
If you have a digestive tract and must eat other organisms to survive, plants/fungi/animals, that makes you an animal.
Humans are not animals! Unlike animals, humans have the ability to think and reason. We also have souls.
Whoever you are, I have never heard such a stupid comment in my entire life. Which planet do you come from? Who taught you that animals do not think, reason and don´t have souls? I cannot believe that you actually believe what you are saying. You´re joking right????? You and I are animals and will always be animals, the only difference is that we are shaped differently from other mammals. All animals think and reason and as for them having souls, OF COURSE THEY HAVE SOULS. Chances are there.... More
Start thinking outside the box, instead of a closed mind.
please go back to first grade before commenting. yes humans are animals too.
Global warming? A hoax and science proves it! Animals bad for env. even humans? We are part of the natural environment! We are the ultimate predator! Think about these 2 tidbits of info: 1. There was once an iceage, and it thawed without one suv or powerplant to warm the earth. 2. One volcanic eruption (like the one in Iceland) puts more cfc's and CO2 in the atmosphere than the industrialized world has in history combined. We are commanded to be good stuards of the earth, but let's all.... More
I think YOU need to wake up. Where are your references for these '10x scientists' that say global warming isn't real? Really, very humorous. Any reliable and educated scientist would say that global warming is VERY real, and is caused by nothing else but HUMANS. There's even a term for it, its called anthropogenic global warming, look it up and attempt to educate yourself. Your point that other events worse than what is going on now have occurred in this planet's history is true, but you.... More
Why isn't Al Gore on this list?
Enter your comments here we are the one that are bad for environment maybe the worst

Not only are humans the #1 bad animal for the environment, we are also the stupidest. And some of us are worse.
Ok, ya we as people do tend to screw things up. Third law of physics backs up that truth. However, we are most certainly not the stupidest! I don't recall monkeys or birds astablishing a organized govermental system center around the free thinking individuals.
Humans are the only animals that deliberately destroy the home that they live in, the only home that we know is capable of supporting life. What is the point of having an organized structure if in a couple of hundred years sustainable life on planet Earth will be impossible, and as far as I know, Mars does not seem a pretty planet to live in.
Isn't it our governmental/religious systems that have through history screwed things up and continue to do so now? Monkeys and birds don't need a 'system', as we do, to make up for the lack of living in harmony with nature.
I believe it should be "AN organized".......PEOPLE PLEASE DON'T POST ON HOW "SMART" PEOPLE ARE IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO USE PROPER SPELLING AND GRAMMAR. :(
'astablishing' is spelled with an 'e'......establishing
This simply can not be for real. As a biologist and college professor, the information presented here is an excellent example of BAD SCIENCE! Humans are the only animal species destroying the natural habitiat of all the other animals on the planet. Humans are the cause of the sixth extinction!
So most will be gone accept the chosen by god!
almighty so new age will be with out iniquity and the earth and sky are one and the earth will have only one king named Emanuel
ur real name is Enuml or whatever,isn't it?
Listen up, you "global warming- save the earth" freaks!!!!! ANIMALS ARE NOT BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!!! THE EARTH IS NOT WARMING DUE TO PEOPLE!!! THE EARTH GOES THROUGH CYCLES OF HEATING AND COOLING! The only thing BAD for the EARTH is LIBERAL THINKING!!!!! GET A JOB!!!
Hey, conservative idiot, at least TRY to educate yourself on the topic BEFORE you comment. Its very clear you dont have the SLIGHTEST idea what you are talking about, which shows how ignorant and idiotic you are. The Earth isn't warming due to humans you say? Oh really, then whats causing it? Let me guess, you're going to use the go-to excuse all conservatives use that 'the planet goes through cycles', am I right? Thought so. How can you claim what's happening is a 'cycle' when humans are.... More
Sure the world goes through the cycle of it warming up..... But its happening faster now with humans being so stupid!
Since they have only been keeping records for a hundred years or so, how in the flippin' world could you know that?
I just cannot believe you liberal morons can fall for that CRAP! WHAT FOOLS!
