  5. A species that has a bigger impact on the environment because of its population than it makes up for. (i.e. humans)

  6. Over population occurs when a species numbers exceed the carrying capacity of the local Eco system.  When this happens the species must expand into new territory or the over all health of the species will suffer and the overall quantity will be brought back to the carrying capacity.

    Many factors can effect an Eco systems carrying capacity.

  7. Deer (at least in Indiana) is an example.  A park ranger said five times as many people kill a deer with a driver's license than they do with a hunting license.

    Basically, an overpopulated species has numbers greater than the carrying capacity of the area.

  8. USA

  9. Those little furballs when Captain Kirk was still  in charge of the Enterprise
