Mongoose 

The mongoose in Hawaii originated from Indian stocks brought originally to Jamaica.  in September 30, 1883 72 mongoose were brought to Hawaii and released along the Hilo coast.  Mongoose were brought to Hawaii because of the serious rat problems in the sugarcane fields, but during the day the mongoose would go out looking for food and the rat would be sleeping, and during the night the mongoose would be sleeping while the mouse is out looking for food, so this problem was not solved, so now we have a serious rat and mongoose problem.
