Climate change has resulted in an increase in invasive species, such as the Burmese python. The increase in Burmese python populations has led to the localized extinctions of small mammals where the Burmese python lives. Why has this snake been so successful? one: It is able to adapt to changes in the weather much faster than other organisms, so it can grow larger. It is able to swim long distances to find shelter, so rising sea levels are not an issue for it. It eats a single prey species, so it does not need to find multiple sources of food. It has no natural predators, so its populations have increased virtually uninterrupted.
