How the importation of exotic animals, (in this case really large snakes), is still affecting the ecology. The people of Florida will tell you, pythons are here to stay folks.
lyrics
The invasion of the African Rock Python
There's thousands of hybrid pythons living down in Florida
Somehow we seemed to get this idea they made good pets
But you didn't quite get it yet, not even when I ate the vet
It's time to feed, Rover makes a tasty breed
I'm right at home amongst the Everglades
Lions may be King of the Beasts, but their cubs make for a tasty treat
There's tens of thousands of hybrid pythons living down in Florida
Somehow we seemed to get this idea they made good pets
But you didn't quite get it yet, not even when I ate the vet
Import these things, if they get too big
We will turn them loose amongst the Everglades
Lions may be King of the Beasts, but their cubs make for a tasty treat
And, once they eat all the mice, and rats,
And, pigs and sheep, and, dogs and cats
And, you're what's left, Oh you can bet
You are next, you are next...
There's millions of hybrid pythons living down in Florida
Somehow we seemed to get this idea they made good pets
But you didn't quite get it yet, not even when I ate the vet
Import these things, if they get too big to put on a leash
We will turn just release them amongst the Everglades
Amongst the Everglades, amongst the Everglades...
Lions may be King of the Beasts, but their cubs make for a tasty treat
And, once they eat all the mice, and rats,
And, pigs and sheep, and, dogs and cats
And, you're what's left, Oh you can bet
You are next, you are next...
