Hundreds of thousands of Green Iguanas relax along canals and on pool decks around the southern part of the state. And other non-native animals like seven-foot Nile Monitor Lizards and poop-tossing Rhesus Monkeys are scaring Florida residents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow did all these animals get into our public parks, canals and lakes, undeveloped areas and suburban yards? The unfortunate truth is, kids and their parents are partly to blame. Parents are purchasing cute baby animals for their kids, then abandoning the unwanted adult pets in the Everglades and anywhere else they think the animals might survive on their own. Some species are indeed surviving--and they are breeding wildly, becoming nuisance species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides identification information for the most common exotic species and has the answers to these questions: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat are these animals and how did they get here?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is a humane way to get rid of them?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen should a trapper be called?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan I feed them?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAre they dangerous?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is the effect of all these exotics on the environment?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat can we do to help with the problem?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders learn how to stay safe, be humane, and appreciate nature--and are encouraged NOT to purchase exotic animals as pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecommended by the National Association of Science Teachers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Virginia Aronson, Allyn Szejko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1561644684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781561644681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pineapple Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.22h x 7.24w x 0.48d","brand":"Virginia Aronson","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":44080681943295,"sku":"9781561644681","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7afe9380-2511-4aa6-b142-645de9be67af.jpg?v=1685488204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/iguana-invasion-virginia-aronson-9781561644681","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
