What happen exotic pets escape or released into the wild?

Answer 1

If you release a wild exotic animal where if does not live naturally it would through off the food chain. An example is if you release a Boa (snake) where it doesn't normally live. It could eat cats, small dogs ect. and throw off the food chain. The snake would get bigger and lose its fear of humans eventually, and could attack a small child.

Answer 2

The pet could pose a danger to humans, and if it does hurt someone, could be put down. Plus, keeping exotic wildlife as pets insures that they could never live in the wild because they wouldn't know how to protect themselves or hunt.

Answer 3

If they survive, they can make a mess of the environment. Time magazine has featured 10 of these invasive species:
•Asian Carp
•Rabbits
•Cane Toads
•Kudzu
•Gray Squirrel
•Killer Bees
•Starlings
•Northern Snakehead
•Zebra Mussels
•Burmese Python
"In 1957, a beekeeper in São Paulo, Brazil, accidentally released 26 Tanzanian queen bees who went on to launch an agricultural calamity, a horror-movie franchise and a whole new level of melissophobia. The queens mated with native European honeybees to create so-called killer bees, or Africanized bees — an especially aggressive species. Africanized honeybee swarms have been known to stage coups where they invade European honey hives, kill the European queen and install their own leader. The bees first infiltrated the U.S. in 1990 and have since spread to the southern parts of many states, including California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and Florida. Though movies such as the 1974 film Killer Bees have succeeded in instilling fear, the bees' venom is no more toxic than that of the European honeybee. They are, however, known to sting many more times, with some victims receiving more than 1,000 stings. In addition to being a threat to humans, they are also relatively lousy at producing honey — making them a threat to agriculture as well." Time

Answer 4

Most of them die - because they're not in their natural environment. A few individuals may survive IF they can (a) find sufficient food to eat and (b) maintain a manageable body temperature.
