Are snakehead fish a dangerous invasive species in the USA? Invasive species, whether they are animals, fish or plants, are causing a huge problem around the world. An invasive species can cause huge disruptions to fragile, local ecosystems, as they often have no natural predators in their new habitat, take over territory and food sources required by indigenous animals for survival and sometimes even destroy terrain.
A large, social venomous snake, the northern copperhead ranges across the eastern half of the United States. They live in habitats ranging from terrestrial to semi-aquatic. Even just-hatched copperheads have fully functional fangs capable of injecting venom. These hatchlings have venom that is just as toxic as adults' venom. The copperhead is the cause of many snakebites yearly but they are rarely fatal. Bites occur by accidentally stepping on or touching the snake, which tends to be well camouflaged with its surroundings.
