Wait, this isn't "guess the Simpsons episode"?

As with most news stories, you are still welcome to guess the Simpsons episode that predicted these events.

I'm not good with episode names but I kind of remember the plot: Bart got an egg that hedges into a reptile. Skinner wants to kill it because it's an invasive species but Bart does everything to save his little new friend. Later they find out that it eats animals (birds?) that are a problem and Bart gets celebrated by the Mayor for saving the city. Lisa gets a dialogue with the Mayor at the end where she is like "but this doesn't solve anything. What about the new invasive species?" and Mayor just lists new invasive species that will eat the old ones, ending with gorillas that will just freeze to death in winter.

I haven't watched the episode in a while so I might be wrong in some parts

Edit: I've looked it up, it's "Bart the Mother", s10e3
