This is a prime example of irresponsible journalism. I am sure that the author and editor of this took the story and tried to pump it up with some humor but in the process they have some very misleading “facts”. They make it sound like these animals will make it to the bay area one way or another with enough time and nothing can stop that. It is also pointed out that humans would be a source of prey. Gordon Rodda should not be allowed to talk about this stuff and Steve Rubenstein should not be allowed to write about it… they both seem to be making up crap as they go... beavers will speed them along to the bay area? This seems like it was all done in order to install a sense of fear in the uninformed public, they will believe this crap. In fact we should all email Steve Rubenstein using the link on his article to let him know what we think of this kind of junkalism. I mean he is even advising that everybody run to the hills to avoid the python migration with the only problem being not enough room up in the higher elevations for everybody.
