It's important to note that the introduction of these animals had a significant impact on the environment and native ecosystems. Some species, like pigs, became feral and disrupted the balance of native plant and animal life.
The colonists also brought various insect species unintentionally, some of which became pests like the European honeybee.
While the colonists brought many animals for practical purposes, they also brought animals for sentimental reasons, like pets. The animals brought with them played a crucial role in shaping the landscape and economy of the colonies.
