Florida’s python problem is fairly well known. Sooner or later some idiot will turn lose breeding pairs of Mambas and Cobras down there and they’ll really know what problems are then.

I saw Cornel Wilde chow down on one in THE NAKED PREY a few days ago. He seemed to like it.
Some people insist on bringing weird animals and exotics into the us and when bored with them dump them. I remember when piranha were first found in the Everglades a few years ago.

Anyone remember when the DICK TRACY comic strip found people on the moon who used their slashing fingernails to rip open giant escargot moon snails?
That was around the late 1960s to the 1970s.

"...but as big as a teacup."

.

I saw ones that big on the North Umpqua trail along the river
of the same name in Douglass County Oregon.

There are 124 different species of slugs and snails in Oregon!
