Invasive species can spread in many different ways, but how about by helicopter transport?
That's the case in Hawaii where ranch owner Jeffrey Scott Grundhauser and helicopter pilot Thomas Leroy Hauptman are being tried for illegally transporting axis deer and mouflon sheep by chopper.
This from the Associated Press: "The alleged animal smugglers took axis deer from Maui to the Big Island and dropped them off to roam. Officials say they took Big Island sheep to a Maui hunting ranch, but apparently didn’t release them to the wild. Even so, the sheep’s arrival on Maui for the first time deeply concerns conservationists who fear the animals could escape or give others the idea to bring over more.

The Burmese python, which weighed more than 150 pounds, is thought to be the largest snake ever caught in North America. To understand just how large this snake is consider that a 2013 Chevy Suburban measures just over 18.5 feet. A more chilling explanation of the slithering nightmare’s size comes from Florida Museum of Natural History snake expert Kenneth Krysko who told The Sun, “A 17-foot snake could eat anything it wants.”
