Populations of predator and prey have a cyclic increasing and decreasing relationship to regulate the number of both.

A nonnative squirrel is introduced into a forest. Which would most likely prevent this squirrel from becoming an invasive specie
ddd [48]

Answer: When the non native species is introduced into the forest then the squirrel should compete with the stronger animals present in the forest for the sake of resources.

The squirrels in this case will not win from the native species present there and ultimately the population of squirrel will decrease.

The population of squirrel will get extinct at a time and would not be considered as an invasive species.
