Washing away invasive species
Pythons are an invasive species in the Everglades. An invasive species is one which is not naturally there but has been introduced by accident or on purpose by humans. In the case of the python it results from people releasing their pets to the Everglades when they get too large or they become bored with them. Invasive species usually have no natural enemies to keep their numbers down. In the case of the python, iit is a large predator which outclasses the local predators for hunting ability and size, As a consequence it eats tall the food go the local predators (raccoons, rabbits, deer) which starves the local large predators (alligators etc). With no natural food the python then moves on to alligators, dogs, small children and similar.

Some invasive species in the Everglades include Burmese pythons, Brazilian pepper trees, melaleuca trees, and Old World climbing fern. These species outcompete native plants and animals, disrupt the natural ecosystem balance, and pose a threat to the Everglades' biodiversity. Efforts are being made to control and eradicate these invasive species to protect the unique environment of the Everglades.
