Answer: "Invasive" species.

Step-by-step explanation:

Populations of organisms that are foreign to an area, and that are introduced to a new habitat, and compete with the endemic or local species are known as invasive species. Since they don't have predators in the newly introduced habitat, they reproduce rapidly and out compete local species.
