I am brown and found in trees. I feed on native
birds and lizards.
I may have stripes like a zebra, but I live in
water and compete with native mussels for food.
I dont taste like garlic or mustard, but like to
crowd out native species and take over!

I am found in the Southeastern US and can attack
and cause painful burning stings on humans,
animals, livestock.
I may look like a snake, but Im a fish that
preys on native species. Im also found in more
places than just the northern states.
I like to go wild and pig out on native plants
and crops causing much damage.
