Many areas, Florida number one of all, have invasive species that are destroying the ecology.
There an estimated 300k Burmese pythons in Florida. Over 20,000 giant Iquanas are in Florida. 79,000 Tegu lizards were imported in America but no one knows how many have escaped into the wild. But there are 1000s .
There are an estimated 9 million feral, wild hogs in 40 states in America.
None of these animals are native to America. How did they get here? White folks. The pythons and iguanas initially as pets that got released. There are also all kinds of animals, reptiles, plants, amphibians, a long list that are not native to America that were brought to America by white folks, sometimes accidentally on shipping containers that weren't properly screened.
Here is a list: Invasive Species Profiles List | National Invasive Species Information Center
It's ticking time bomb. Florida is f*cked. The pythons have eliminated many domestic animals. The iquanas are huge and everywhere and burrow wholes that have severely damaged roads, bridges, sewage pipelines.
Some of these could mess up the ecology so bad in time, we may not be able to live in some parts of America.
