A Burmese python with a tracking device led Florida officials to a sex party

With invasives there is no balance, just look what happened to the island tortoises in the pacific. Introduced animals outcompete them and rendered most of them extinct. The same would have happened to the Galapagos tortoise had they not managed to eradicate the introduced rats that were eating the young.

Also, as an indigenous decendant, I can tell you that this wasn't exactly a great outcome, but it happened a long time ago and it's too late to do much about it... it might not be too late to do something about the pythons.

I dont think they can realistically be eradicated by humans. Not unless some kind of python specific pathogen is deliberately released.

But I read this was all blown out of proportion anyway because most of them were recently wiped out by a harsh winter (by Florida standards). Which would be a case of nature finding a balance - it will always reach an equilibrium.

That's all this is really - nature. I don't believe in man-made vs nature. We evolved on Earth like all other organisms so by default all of our actions and behaviours are a result of nature. We're just seeing it in action.
