A particular species of snake was accidentally introduced into a region where it had no natural enemies. These introduced snakes fed on birds and insects that were the food of native snake species. Over the next few years, the introduced snake population grew rapidly in size. How will the introduced snakes most likely impact the native snake population? The native snake population will decrease as competition for food increases. Native snakes will adapt to eating different varieties of food. The native snake population will increase as it migrates to new areas. Native snakes will mate with the invaders to form a new species.
