Why does Hawaii not have any predators?

Answer 1

Hawaii lacks native land mammals and large predators primarily due to its isolation and unique evolutionary history. The islands formed millions of years ago, allowing only species that could reach them via air or water, such as birds and insects. As a result, the ecosystem evolved without significant predatory threats, leading to a fragile balance. However, human introduction of invasive species has disrupted this balance, creating new predatory pressures on native wildlife.
