Technically, yes. However, in a practical sense I'd say the definition needs to be refined. Do I think Burmese pythons are having an impact? Yes. They eat a wide variety of vertebrates in a national park where people are not even allowed to touch wildlife. Do I think they are the #1 worst invasive species... no way. Look at what Old World Climbing Fern does in Loxahatchee NWR... that stuff is horrible. It chokes entire tree islands and leaves them dead. Burms are not the worst at all but they are undoubtedly negatively impacting wildlife in ENP. When's the last time anyone here saw a muskrat or marsh rabbit in ENP?
