Elizabeth Kolbert Quote
The author David Quammen cautions that while it is easy to demonize the brown tree snake, the animal is not evil; it’s just amoral and in the wrong place. What Boiga irregularis has done in Guam, he observes, is precisely what Homo sapiens has done all over the planet: succeeded extravagantly at the expense of other species.
