They have been around much longer than they have been invasive. They only became invasive when human activity transported them from their native environment to a different one without the predators that kept their populations under control. In this new environment their populations explode exponentially and they invade more and more space in that environment, pushing native species towards extinction in some cases.

2. Some animals would hitch on backs of boats or trucks to different places.
