What animals live in Australia but are not native to Australia?

Most introduced species are considered pests and they have had a detrimental affect on Australia's native plants and animals. The possible exception to this is the dingo which is not native to Australia, but occupies quite an important niche as the mainland's largest carnivore, and companion to the Aborigines.
Introduced species which live in Australia but are not native include:
- red foxes
- rabbits and hares
- house mice and rats
- cane toads
- feral cats
- wild dogs
- wild pigs
- horses (brumbies)
- camels
- feral goats
- water buffalo
- feral donkeys and the African wild ass
- Indian mynah bird
- starling
- common pigeon, or rock pigeon
- European carp
- even dingoes are not truly native to Australia, having arrived just a few hundred to a couple of thousand years ago
