Passage
People traveling to an island accidentally
introduced mice into an ecosystem that previously
had no mice. The population of mice quickly grew
out of control. It started harming populations of
native plants and birds. Scientists offered two
solutions. One was to introduce cats to the island,
The cats could hunt and eat the mice. The other
suggestion was to introduce a disease that could
infect the mice and reduce their population.
