The introduction of non-indigenous species in Florida has placed many native species in jeopardy. The Cuban Anole has devastated the populations of green anoles that used to happily bob their heads in the native landscape. The Cuban Tree Frog has taken over populations of Barking Tree Frogs and Green Tree Frogs. Everywhere you look there are species of Reptiles, Birds and mammals that don't belong in Florida. Nile Monitors do not belong in the wild Florida habitat. They will eat anything in their path including native bird eggs, native reptile eggs, native birds, native fish, native reptiles. Why do you think they (Nile monitors) should be saved? They belong in Africa, not here in Florida. Kill 'em all!
