Answer:

predators

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is predators. An alien species that finds plenty of food and suitable habitat in its new home is usually able to find mates and reproduce well. But the competing species may become endangered or even extinct, because the alien (now invasive) species has no natural predators in the new environment, and its population can therefore grow without limits.
