Due to owners who don't want them anymore and those that escaped Hurricane Andrew there are literally thousands of pythons in the Everglades. And state officials say they'll never be able to be rid of them.
When you think of scientists working for the U.S. Geological Survey, you might picture them studying things like seismology graphs but that’s not all the department does. A recent video posted by USGS shows a team wrestling to control a giant python.
The snake in the video, according to the University of Florida’s press release issued Monday,
set not only a state record for its size of 17 feet 7 inches but also the 87 eggs it had. According to the university’s website, the dead animal was brought to the Florida Museum from the Everglades National Park as part of a project through the USGS to study the increasingly invasive Burmese python species in the state.
