"Strange Days on Planet Earth"


Part1 Termites:

This story took place near Lake Victoria.

They were researching about strange animals and insects that are destroying houses.

They also were researching about plants and animals that were growing and showing up where they don't belong.

These insects are called termites and are dominating houses in certain areas such as the South.

Part2 The Nile Crocodile:

has taken over the Lake Victoria.

Many crocodile attacks and deaths.

Weeds invading Uganda and making it hard to get fresh drinking water and also making it hard to getting to fishing grounds.

Rats: Alienated here and had to bring in lizards, but those were active during the day when rats sleep so they had to bring in a new species; a toad which were poisonous and had to be killed by cats which ended up poisoned.

Now using certain insects and weevils to kill and eliminate the weeds.

Asian Tiger mosquitoes, Fire ants and killer bees; all are taking lives.

Big island Hawaii

Erosion is killing species and most aren't found here.
Dangerous tree spreading to fast and killing other plants.
Japanese white eye is its accomplice.

Deadly insects
Animals help certain insects transport to different places for it to grow larger.

Climate Change: By burning carbon fuels we have raised Earth's temperature by one degree Fahrenheit. Caribou have declined by at least 60,000. People are suffering for climate change and won't have anything to eat. Mosquitoes kill caribou because they carry a certain parasite. People around the world don't care about what's going on in the Arctic because it doesn't effect them.
