  • The Telugu name for the Indian spotted chevrotain is jarini pandi, which literally means “a deer and a pig”.
    In Kannada, it is called barka (ಬರ್ಕ)
    in Malayalam, it is called കൂരമാൻ kūramān
    the Konkani name for it is barinka.
    The Tamil term is சருகு மான் sarukumāṉ “leaf-pile deer”.
    The Sinhala name meeminna roughly translates to “mouse-like deer”. This was used in the scientific name of the Sri Lankan spotted chevrotain, M. meminna.











  • Most invasive species were brought over by Europeans, so yes, they did have an “immigration program”

    Nope. Big difference between bringing over a few hundred Kudzu and they suddenly go buck-wild because the conditions happen to be right, versus having a deliberate sustained immigration program for millions of whites. “Invasive” species never had an immigration program, nothing in the Americas did except for whites and arguably any organism that served them, including enslaved people.

    The reason invasive non-human species outcompete is because they’re fitter. The reason humans outcompete each other (especially with colonialism) is because of reasons so convoluted that they rarely have anything to do with biological fitness or niche appropriateness, which is why there’s a bunch of people whiter than sour milk in Tallahassee



  • native ecosystems honestly just don’t matter until Native lives matter

    at least all the “invader” species are genuinely outcompeting stuff by being legitimately better at some niche, instead of zerg rushing the american continent and then using an artificial system of laws and racism to keep themselves on top

    Nobody started an immigration program for 100 million Asian carp and then had an Asian carp only law for 400 years
