There were NO poisonous reptiles on Guam when my family live there in the 1960s. All the danger was in the ocean. The brown snakes came into the country when they began commercial air flight which also began the demise of the island. The US saved Guam from the terror of Japanese invasion during WWIl. Then the Japanese tourists invaded in the late 1970s

Not very interesting facts - Very disappointed that Nat Geo would put out such a weak video lacking so much info.

No info about the incredible history of this island? like being discovered by Spanish sailors, and then becoming part of the USA after the Spanish-American war in 1898?? Just info about snakes and drugged rats?? Lol Natgeo wow

Ships going around during and after WW2 used water as ballast in ships that were empty. They'd dump the water as their ships filled up with men or equipment, dumping evasive species all over the Pacific.

They could have done MUCH better at the vital facts for Guam. Maybe something about the marine life or fisherman since North Korea is gonna be targeting the waters of Guam? Maybe some facts on the specific shoreline that will be effected? Someone didn't do their research...

I think given current events I would rather know about the US bases there rather than about the snakes.

First Russia has helped us out by cutting our diplomatic payroll, now Kim Jung Un wants to help with the Brown Tree Snake problem.

How are you gonna say all of this and not mention Guam's a modern-day colony of the USA though? 🤔 huh...

The drops were conducted in a fenced property on a controlled population to study the efficacy of toxic drops on eradicating snakes. no such attempt has been made on the whole of the island.
