002:11 ISLANDS Strangers In Paradise
This documentary survey the flora and fauna on the islands of Hawaii, New Zealand, New Guinea and the Easter Islands. The rat is the most devastating rodent to be introduced to these paradise islands and is a threat to much of the native insects and wildlife.
They are the introduced ‘Strangers In Paradise’ and are prolific breeders. Each female can breed up to 5 times a year with at least10 young in each litter. Their numbers are staggering and are a major concern as to how they can be erradicated.
