Biology:List of invasive species in Florida

The Burmese python is considered a particularly successful invasive species in Florida.

Invasive species in Florida are introduced species of fauna−animals and flora−plants that are established and have naturalized within Florida.

Native plants and animals can become threatened endangered species from the spread of invasive species in natural habitats and/or developed areas (e.g. agriculture, transport, settlement).
