\"AustinClarksville, TN<\/strong> – On Guam, a strange silence hangs over the Pacific island\u2019s dense jungles. Birds don\u2019t sing or call out to mates. They don\u2019t flutter from branch to branch or shout at potential predators.<\/p>\n

The jungles are eerily quiet because, more than half a century after an innocent looking tree snake arrived on Guam, the serpent devoured nearly all the island\u2019s birds.<\/p>\n
