Santiago Juan Torres says:
La especie no es nativa de Fernando de Noronha, se considera introducida a mediados del siglo pasado para utilizar de blanco de tiro por el ejército. Su adaptación y posibles afectaciones del ambiente en la isla son objeto de estudio por algunos grupos de investigación. Add comment:
