dangerous species
Risky animal type
A dangerous species is any animal, plant, or organism that poses significant risk to humans, other species, or ecosystems.
The phrase appears in wildlife management, conservation law, and public safety contexts: The park service maintains a list of dangerous species in the area.
What qualifies as dangerous varies—venomous snakes, aggressive predators, invasive plants that displace native flora, or pathogens.
The designation often triggers legal restrictions on possession, transport, or introduction to new habitats.
