The invasive alien Black Rat Rattus rattus (Least Concern) has a marked impact on the native faunas of island states. The rat here is taking a New Zealand Fantail Rhipidura fulginosa (Least Concern) chick. Although the Fantail is very widespread, the rat could have a marked impact if introduced to all islands within the bird's range.
