Mohamed Gutierrez · Answer 1

I agree with the person above - when non-local species spread rapidly across large areas, they are called invasive species.

Given that this is not their home land, the place where they originated, they are "invading" another species' area and taking over the locations where they previously lived. Usually, in these types of situations, the other species will either fight back to regain their home, or die out because the invasive species will take over everything.
