The Indian mongoose invasion has spread to various regions beyond its native habitat in India, including the Caribbean islands, parts of Africa, and certain areas in the United States, particularly Hawaii. This expansion has raised concerns due to the mongoose's impact on local ecosystems, as it preys on native wildlife and disrupts existing food chains. Its introduction in these regions has often been linked to attempts at controlling rodent populations, which has had unintended negative consequences.
