Mammoth Burmese Python Breaks Two Records
|
A giant Burmese python found in Florida’s Everglades has broken two records. At 5.35 meters (17 feet, 7 inches) it is the largest python caught in Florida and it was found carrying a record-breaking 87 eggs. Previous records for Burmese pythons captured in the wild were 5.12 meters (16.8 feet) and carried 85 eggs. Scientists at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the University of Florida campus examined the monster 74.6 kilogram (164.5 pound) snake on Friday as part of a federal project to research methods to control Florida’s python population. [Kenneth Krysko, Head Herpetologist, Florida Museum]: “It gives us insight to the actual problem which is invasive species, not only in the Everglades environment but also in Florida and around the world.” A non-native species is regarded as invasive if it negatively impacts native species or habitat and threatens humans. Researchers at the museum said the snake was in good health and its stomach contained feathers that would be identified by ornithologists. Burmese pythons prey on birds, deer, alligators and other large animals. Native to Southeast Asia, the Burmese python is one of the deadliest predators in Florida with population estimates varying from the thousands to hundreds of thousands. State laws prohibit residents from Burmese python as pets or transporting snakes across state lines without a permit.
