What are overpopulated species?

Answer 1

A species that has too much of that species in the population.

Answer 2

HUMANS

(not jokeing)

Answer 3

Overpopulated species are animals, usually mammals, that have a larger amount then is a safe, for other animals, the environment, and possibly humans. For example, there's an overpopulation of elk in the Rocky Mountains. There natural predators, the wolf, were wiped out, so now they have more elk than is healthy for the mountain area.

Also, overpopulated species are animals that have a large amount, so many that it isn't healthy for anyone.

Answer 4

When one outstrips their resources.

Answer 5

population of china!

world has about 6.5 billion people. from this amount about the 1/3 are chinese.

so, i would say chinese people are overpopulated, when it comes to human species.

Answer 6

Cockroaches, pigeons, rats and even cats and dogs are an example of overpopulation species.

Answer 7

A species that has outgrown their habitat and has to be  hunted to ensure the proper balance between animals and nature.  Too many!

Example deer:  They have open season for deer to be hunted in order to keep the population down to keep the species preserved and not mutated since they inner breed with each other.  Not good!

They go everywhere, eat everything, thus starving the rest which dies off anyway, even if the have to commit suicide and run in front of a semi on the highway!  Their mission in life....breed the next doe!  Git er Done Buck!

Squirrels have a hunting season too.  Anything I would say that can disturb the eco system and cause it to go belly up.

Answer 8

The kind of unconscientious human beings who commit dumb crimes and go to jail......or prison..........and do darn little for the kids they helped bring into the world.   I think overpopoulated species should be STERILIZED.

Answer 9

Absolutely HUMANS.  Too bad it would be un PC to suggest licensing parents.  Too bad it would be un PC to suggest limiting the number of children a family can have.  Too bad our babies are having babies before they are even close to grown.  

We are running out of natural resources right?  We are losing farmers every day to drought, subdividing land, and the almighty dollar that they get to sell their property so some butt head can sub divide it.  What will we get from all this?  FAMINE.  We will all be hungry before long because there won't be enough food to go around to all the mouths.

Hmmm...maybe I should move to Australia where there's plenty of room to roam.

Answer 10

Bugs.
