Researchers discovered that an invasive species of snake has killed virtually all of Gran Canaria's indigenous reptiles. California kingsnakes were introduced to Gran Canaria in 1998, some later escaped while others were purposely released by pet owners. Since then, the snakes have mated, bred, and spread over the island.
