Consider this scenario: The tropical island of Hawaii is virtually snake-free. Smugglers, seeking to make money, brought several crates of snakes to the island. Unfortunately, while traveling across the island, the truck carrying the snakes was in an accident. The crates were thrown from the truck and broke apart. Most of the snakes were never recovered. Would this have any affect on the ecosystem here? Explain your answer.

Answer:

I think this could either go two ways; the snakes could either shock the ecosystem and kill lots of wildlife and plants, or the snakes could not survive in the environment and die within a few days leaving very few alive.
