Many have been introduced to the United States ecosystem. Some, like the honey bee, date back to the 1600's with the settlement of Jamestown. Another was the black rat that came on the ships from Jamestown. In more recent time the most evasive has been the python and the Rock python that has been introduced to the Florida everglades. They are now eating all of the animals that inhabit the everglades. Nat Geo has an interesting TV program on this and may have an article in their magazine or online. They predict that in the future they may spread from Florida to CA.
