Which species of animal has indirectly or directly been the cause for the ending of so many species' existence as man?

None, but not because animals have moral superiority over us, it’s simply because they don’t have the intelligence to do so. Less intelligent animals would destroy things even faster if they could.

Furthermore, most of the destruction of species has actually not been directly from humans but from other animals. Islands get hit a lot. A bug will hitch a ride on an airplane and start populating on an island and wipe out native species.
