Burmese Pythons, Everglades Dying Wildlife And Their Worldwide Implication

             In a still relatively healthy wildlife refuge north of the Florida Everglades, a person remarked, "The Everglades have lost more than 95 per cent of its mammal population from the Burmese pythons. They are coming this way. They have already been spotted in the area. And when they come in numbers, everything will change. People will walk through here and what they can see now will never be seen again. The pythons will eat up everything. Raccoons, otters, muskrats, opossums, armadillos, marsh rabbits,  bobcats, sandhill cranes, and anything else they can catch. Other predators will die from starvation because the snakes will eat everything."
             Cute burrowing owls will not stand a chance if the Burmese python reaches their areas. As the invasion goes north, which seems to be happening, common and uncommon species will be wiped out. At some point the snakes will start eating each other out of hunger after they have eaten up everything else. Alligators compete with the Burmese python, and they eat each other depending on which one is bigger. The Burmese python is hell for native reptiles, birds and mammals.
              In places in the third world, where there is enormous biodiversity and few resources for conservation and wildlife protection, the situation is even more dire. Invasive species are not even on the list of top threats. Habitat loss and fragmentation, trashing of the oceans with plastic and other contaminants and other threats spell doom for wildlife. Invasive species are just one more poison in the pot that even a rich and powerful nation like the United States cannot control. As for the other, even greater threats, little to nothing is being done.
