Crayfish Invasion: River Life in Peril

Wild update from Zambia: invasive red-clawed crayfish are taking over the Kafue River, and scientists are freaking out. These little monsters eat literally everything—fish eggs, native crabs, you name it. Local fishers are struggling because the crayfish even sneak into their nets and ruin the catch. Plus, a giant South American plant is choking out the rare Kafue antelope’s habitat. It’s a full-on battle to save the river’s ecosystem. Would you know what to do if this happened in your backyard? #Science #InvasiveSpecies #RiverCrisis
