Default National Geographic and water hyacinth

Reminds me of St Johns US Virgin Islands.

The ships brought in rats by accident, then the plantation owners brought in
snake to kill rats, snake is out of control.

Then comes mongoose to eat snake, now mongoose is totally out of control.
Being that it is an island, and no mongoose predator, mongoose remains out
of control, eating domestic livestock, etc. decades later still no solution
to mongoose problem.

Moral of the story: Left alone nature will not screw up!
