Exotic species - Gairaishu (English spelling)

Japanese: 外来種 - がいらいしゅ(英語表記)exotic species
Exotic species - Gairaishu (English spelling)
Plants and animals that were not originally from a certain area, but have since settled there after migrating or being introduced from elsewhere. This often refers to organisms that have come to the area from a foreign country, and is called naturalized animals or plants. Recent examples include the Fall Webworm and Solidago altissima. Most agricultural crops, livestock, and ornamental plants and animals are foreign species. Crops and livestock varieties that are introduced from foreign countries are called invasive species. In contrast, those that were originally present in the area are called native species or varieties. Crops and livestock varieties that are introduced into the area and then subsequently improved upon are not called invasive species.
