Kudzu is an evasive species introduced to Mt. Everest to help with erosion control. The kudzu crowds out the native species and prevents them from flourishing.

What are species that don't belong in a particular area?
A species that "belongs" in a particular area, as you put it, is called a native species. I am sure that animals who find themselves in a non-natural habitat are called a non-native species, an invasive species, or introduced species. The introduction of some species into new environments can have devastating results - this is because the invasive species can eradicate necessary native species that are necessary to support a healthy ecosystem.
What kinds of efforts are people doing to study and control invasive species?
If you're really interested I suggest doing some research. Search google scholar (A better search engine for scientific papers and studies) in google and then search for some key words like 'invasive species control' etc. There has been lots of interest in this field in recent years so there should be some good papers. Also if you feel that reading papers is too heavy watch a couple of episodes of a show called 'python hunters'. It looks at invasive reptiles in florida and how these men are trying to control their populations.
Where are frogs ears located?
Their ears are small but are located behind their eyes. The same is for whales and dolphins. They can also be found on the bum for some species.
What types of animals live on Mount Everest?
Due to the fact that the climate on Mount Everest is so harsh, it is no surprise that very little lives on the mountain itself. However, there are some things that have been found on Everest. Of course, the vast majority of these things have been found at the bottom of the mountain, but some are surprisingly much higher up. The Euophrys omnisuperstes is a small jumping spider that lives 22,000ft up Mount Everest. The Bar-Headed Goose has been seen flying around Everest at up to thirty thousand feet. Another bird that has been known to survive on Everest is the Chough, this bird has been seen as high as 7,920 meters.

Invasive species are species that are?
Invasive species are species that are not native to an area. They typically will thrive in their new environment and in doing so will change the ecosystem by starving out the native species. Some examples of invasive species in America are Japanese beetles, Asian carp, kudzu, phragmites and many many more.
What are some examples of some invasive animals that are birds?
Ring Neck Pheasant European Starling House Sparrow Are all invasive species in North America.
Are raccoons an invasive animal?
In their natural range, raccoons are not an invasive species. However, they have been introduced by man to a few countries, especially in Europe, where they are considered as an invasive pest.
What happens to invasive species?
Invasive species disrupt the natural order of an area. They do not have natural predators, hunt and kill animals that would feed the predators native to an area, and in some cases, can cause a complete collapse of the local ecosystem.
What are some invasive species in the Everglades?
Kudzu is one. Ivy. Heliotrope. Anything that will grow continuously if unchecked.

What are invasive species in the tundra?
Of course there are. Some are just because of deforestation by humans, and weeds (the invasive species) occupying that area, ensuring that the rainforest can never come back in that area.
What is the problems with invasive species?
Native species have natural enemies and do not usually cause a problem. Invasive species frequently do not have natural predators. As a result, Invasive species can create tremendous problems for people. For example: in Florida Water Hyacinths turned lakes into dead zones and breeding areas for mosquitoes. They have done the same in Africa. Africa does not need more mosquitoes spreading malaria. In the Great Lakes, the zebra mussel has choked off water inlets. For a while in the Great Lakes, lampreys killed the fish. In Alabama, an invasive plant threatens to destroy the timber industry. Thus, some invasive species have crowded out native species and made major changes in the ecology. As they crowd out the natural species they can bring plagues and pestilence with them. They can also cause the failure of modern machinery.
