No, mustangs are generally not considered invasive, due to the fact that horses evolved here and lived here as recently as 10,000 years ago. Populations migrated over into Asia and were domesticated there, while it is the belief that all horses in the Americas went extinct. When they were brought back, it was no different ecologically than reintroducing the wolves to Yellowstone. The species prospered here because this is where they evolved and returning has put them back into their niche in the ecosystem.

Is a bear an invasive species?

Bears are not typically classified as invasive species; they are native to many regions where they exist. Invasive species are usually defined as non-native organisms that cause harm to the environment, economy, or human health in their new habitats. However, if bears are introduced to an area where they are not native and disrupt local ecosystems or threaten native species, they could potentially be considered invasive in that specific context. Overall, the classification depends on the bear species and its geographical context.
