The secret of a desert island where dead creatures live
It is an extremely poisonous snake with a brown snake name and the number of up to 2 million that haunt those who accidentally stray into the forests in the dark night here.
Guam is one of those places that still preserves the wild looks of the world. Only about 200,000 people are living, only a fraction of the number of " assassins" living there.
Brown tree snake - An imposing climber on Guam island.
Brown snakes began to appear on the island after World War II. After 70 years of settling there, they proliferate, grow and now become the scariest "enemy" of many animals and animals. people on the island. Biologists estimate that for every hectare of forest there are 70 brown snakes.
With aggressive nature and night hunting. They are responsible for 10 out of 12 native bird species being extinct. They even attacked cattle and humans and destroyed power lines and phones, causing power outages and outages.
Brown snake venom attacks the nervous system and endangers human life if it is not treated and treated promptly.
The image of a solid snake is feeding on a native bird.
In response to the situation, in 2013 the government of Guam and the US authorities issued a solution to eliminate this snake.
Because brown tree snakes do not have enemies, they must use Acetaminophen , an active ingredient in human pain relievers, but extremely dangerous with brown snakes.
They fed thousands of rats with a series of baits containing this compound (Acetaminophen is also dangerous for rats) and spread them down about 40 hectares of forest to snare snakes. The results were quite satisfactory, but only a short time later this snake quickly proliferated again.
Rats are one of the many brownish-snake dishes.
Perhaps the government and the people here still have to "think" many other measures, to eliminate the "assassins" that destroy and protect the safe natural environment for other animals.
