Rats
Rats are wildly successful animals wherever they live — a characteristic that make them dangerous when they are introduced to non-native areas. One primary example has been the introduction of black rats onto Lord Howe Island, a small habitat in the Tasman Sea, where much of the island's unique native wildlife has been wiped out by invading rats. Rats can also be the bearers of disease, and rat population outbreaks can cause substantial food losses, especially in developing countries.

How did humans not make the list? We destroy everything.. In fact I'm pretty sure the world would be as it should be without us, environmentally speaking anyway, but who cares if polar bears become extinct? Not I
First we try to solve problem with animal and second we accuse them if they don't take care of them. We are to blame
I want a rat so I can teach it to cook and make awsome french entrees.But he MUST wash his hands first.

Let's not forget the most environmentally destructive animal, humans.

Look at them though! I love rats! they are so cute! It is amazing how much damage they can cause :/ i mean......remember the black death?
one free-roaming cat is deemed responsible for the extinction of the St. Stephen's Island Wren. they do significant damage to bird species that live/feed primarily on the ground, and can wipe out entire local populations.
who wrote this article, Sarah Palin?
I understand that feral cats, or cats that belong to people who let them roam outdoors, cause great devastation on bird population, for example.
