Capturing a giant python, the largest rice in Florida history
米フロリダ州の湿地エバーグレーズでこのほど、生物学者のチームが記録に残る中で最大のニシキヘビを捕獲しました
A team of biologists recently captured the largest python on record in the Everglades Wetlands, Florida, USA.
Local environmental group revealed
According to the group, the captured snake was a female with a body length of about 5.5 meters and a weight of about 98 kg, and had 122 eggs in its body.
The research team seems to have discovered this record-sized Burmese python with the help of a male ”reconnaissance” snake equipped with a wireless transmitter.
Burmese pythons are invasive alien species in Florida and prey on native mammals including rabbits, possums, and white-tailed deer.
An official of an environmental group pointed out at a press conference that Florida alone is home to more reptiles and amphibians than any other country.
