They are a bit of a pest in the U.S. They eat too much and root up a lot of plants. I mean I always assumed that pigs were herbivores but no they eat small mamals too!]]> 2021-11-15 19:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892160729 b1q2is https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892167943 These pigs were originally from Australia(they were pests there too). They were brought here in the earlys 1500's by Henando del Soto. And they have been here ever since.]]> 2021-11-15 19:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892167943 IrisOrFay https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892169808 Ah, the wonderful Koi fish. I'm sure you've seen them in many places. 
Some facts:
-Koi are also called Japanese Carp.
-Koi can live up to 40 years! But there is a Koi that is believed to have lived to 230 years old!
-Koi are found in every country, accept the cold country of Antarctica.
I hope your interested in this wonderful, but invasive species!

Well we have already established that feral pigs are invasive species. But now lets think about how to prevent these pigs from being invasive. Some solutions migh be to introduce more of its predators to places that they love. Another one migh be to hunt some of them down.
Well these are some possible solutions. Let me know if you have some to! Come on, Lets stop this invasive species!]]> 2021-11-15 19:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892175198 IrisOrFay https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892186847 Since this is a kind community, we have some rules that MUST be followed.

They are originally from Australia, as stated before. Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth. One of the pig's natural predators; The dingo, is i fact native to Australia.]]> 2021-11-15 19:31:42 UTC https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892197722 b1q2is https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892213251 Feral Pigs eat EVERYTHING! From small mammals to plants. Yeah. They can eat most things. That is actually one of the reasons that they are so invasive. They can switch their diets to whatever is available(Kind of like humans)Even though they can eat almost everything they mostly eat plants. Well, anyway this is what feral pigs can eat.]]> 2021-11-15 19:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892213251 b1q2is https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892341556 Well, some reasons that feral pigs are invasive are that they eat excessively and root up plants. As explained before they can eat almost everything so that creates a problem. They also were a problem where they are originally from, Australia.]]> 2021-11-15 20:50:52 UTC https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892341556 IrisOrFay https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892341845 Koi arrived to their un-native habitat from humans. Humans and "Koi Thieves" took Koi from their native habitat and unleashed them in all countries (except Antarctica, obviously). They were put in these areas "accidentally" (Psh. Yeah right.) or deliberately. (Sounds more accurate)

Well I really hope that you enjoyed reading about feral pigs and what they eat, wher they are originaly fro and more! I really hope that you enjoyed all that I wrote. Well have a happy rest of your life and bye!]]> 2021-11-15 21:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892361042 IrisOrFay https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892367092 Koi have a simple, yet healthy diet. They mainly focus on things they can find in the freshwater they live in (usually a pond). The diet of a Koi contains:
-Algae
-Plants
-Insects
-Worms
-Seeds
-Anything else Koi can scavage at the bottom of their little home!

They typically live in ponds.
(I apologize for this being so short!)]]> 2021-11-15 21:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892389062 IrisOrFay https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892398638 Koi are very well known fish. But even so, they are considered due to overpopulation around the globe. They do not belong in the US, only in their designated native land. The Koi eat all the food and supply other fish that are native to the area the Koi invaded need! This needs to be stopped!]]> 2021-11-15 21:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892398638 IrisOrFay https://padlet.com/IrisOrFay/3bp5m3wleik8x4ae/wish/1892403265 Koi invasions happen, believe it or not. (Believe it!)
Not many things have been done to stop this. This is happening due to the fact that people prefer Koi here, and ignore the problems they cause to the economy and the freshwater they live in.
If you want to help:
-Don't be a Koi Thief! Leave them where they are!
-Don't locate Koi somewhere else.

I really hope you enjoyed learning about the amazing creature, Koi Fish! And remember: Even though it's invasive, it should never go extinct!
