Koalas are destroying their island environment near Australia.? :(

SYDNEY, Australia (Reuters) -- A koala population explosion on an Australian island has prompted calls for 20,000 of the furry, native marsupials to be shot to stop them destroying their island habitat and end a koala famine.

Some 30,000 koalas on Kangaroo Island, off the coast of the state of South Australia, are stripping the island of its native gum trees, destroying the ecosystem and causing a koala famine, say environmentalists and national parks officials.

Rusica Falls, PA near the Delaware Water Gap. The deer population exploded in the 80's. It was so bad they were coming in peoples houses.
