Invasive Animals

While invasive plants are of serious concern in Yukon, we have no invasive animals yet. However, we do have introduced animal species that call Yukon home including feral horses, feral cats, european starling, house sparrow, rock pigeon, three-spined stickleback and goldfish. There are also many introduced insect species here, like the Striped alder sawfly (Hemichroa crocea) in the picture above.
