Why is it bad that pet anacondas escaped into swamps of florida.?

Anacondas or any non-native species have the potential to cause disruption in the ecosytem’s food chain. This puts strain on the prey animal populations, and bobcat, raccoon and opossum populations have dwindled.

Competition with alligators and expanding suburban areas means that more snakes will invade populated areas. These snakes may even view children, adults of small stature and pets as prey.
