2. Rat Traps Set on Farmland, Santo Tomás, Isabela Island, in 2016

Description:
Although impossible to substantiate, exotic rats may have been the earliest introduced alien on the islands. They could easily have been introduced as ships were careened and "smoked" on islands from early times. They are today particularly widespread, having invaded at least 36 islands where they prey on the eggs and young of reptiles and birds.
