For of Nature Trouble (Philadelphia Record) We thought we had trouble when we imported starlings to chase English sparrows. The sparrows and starlings promptly signed some kind of non- aggression pact, and now we've got both. But look at our Caribbean possessions. They've got mongoose and white-tail deer trouble, according to an article in the Puerto Rico World Journal. Mongooses were imported into Puerto Rico by the Spanish in 1870 to kill off the island’s rats. But the rats climbed trees and escaped. So the hungry mongooses went after nests of birds on the ground and ate the eggs, and then spread out into eating hens' eggs. White-tailed deer were introduced into St. Croix Virgin Islands, in 1850. There are now 4000 of them. They not only eat pasture intended for cattle, but spread ticks to the herds.
