Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:57:31 +0000 http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/?p=3340#comment-51127 I just got back from the Keys, Iguanas are overtaking the ecosystem, and the loudest voices concerned are the home gardeners losing flowers. If large snakes et iguanas, and keep people from leaving the trails, then be thankful it isn't an Anaconda. The last thing we need is another B movie.

Meanwhile, start introducing big crocodiles to eat the pythons that are too big for the Florida gators to eat. Then resurrect dinosaurs via their DNA to eat the crocodiles. By then we should be able to genetically engineer dragons to eat the dinosaurs. Problem solved. They really ought to test the two species to see if they can produce fertile offspring.
