are there any non domesticated species that are 100% native across all/most continents?
i know this may be a stupid question, so ELI5 maybe?
i know different breeds will vary so i guess i'm looking for an overarching species?
non domesticated meaning no pets or livestock. these species need to be completely noninvasive and naturally belong in each area.
also obviously i'm not talking about microbial species or bacterias etc.

This Incredible Bird Flies 11,000km Without Stopping
The Bar-tailed Godwit takes long-haul travel to the extreme. 🐦✈️ These incredible record-breaking birds fly over 11,000 km non-stop from Alaska to New Zealand, spending around 9–10 days in the air. No food, no rest and no toilet breaks. To prepare for such an amazing feat of endurance the Godwit’s body undergoes a significant overhaul.

How Do Tree Frogs Stick To Everything?
How do tree frogs' feet stick? 🐸
Their feet don’t have suction cups! Instead, glands in their toes expel mucus through narrow grooves between the tiny hexagonal cells on their toe pads. This mucus has adhesive and cohesive properties, letting the tree frog stick to surfaces in a process called wet adhesion. This adaptation helps tree frogs defy gravity, even on wet tree leaves or bark.
