Re: Invasive Species B/C
Thank you!
If I may add, another question about Nutria on the test.
On some News show what did guest Andrew Zimmer (or something) in 2008 propose to control Nutria population
A) Create an isolated island in the Mississippi Delta and put them there
B) Domesticate them
C) Give them tylenol which is toxic to them
D) Serve them on fine dining menus
Ummmmmmmmm butterfly.
Also about tree-of-heaven. Those books that they were talking about were OLD books. 40's books. The Faraway Tree is my mother's from when SHE was a kid.

Do you think the ES didn't know what he was doing or do you think we need to start incorporating this kinda stuff in our notes?
Whats your plan?

Well, IDK who made the test. But some of them were just random. I don't think we should track everything everyone ever said about that species. The test maker just didn't think.
