Invasive Species Exhibits

Nice sign, but which species are problematic, they are all invasive in Czechia and only the slug isn't banned.

Just gone back from Kiwi Park in Queensland; their invasive australian lorikeets and australian possums are all ambassadors only. All of the birds and reptiles they have on exhibit are endemic to New Zealand from what I've seen.

Surprised to say I had trouble finding this exhibit in the gallery, so please settle for my mediocre and inferior photography. The Shedd Aquarium has two tanks side-by-side in the At Home on the Great Lakes gallery, the left containing a number of invasive species such as carp and the more lush habitat on the right containing a more natural Great Lakes ecosystem of native species, such as gar. I think this is an excellent approach since you can really contrast them side by side in one view.

I assume you mean Queenstown? Queensland is an Australian state.
