There is a large-scale hunt for Burmese pythons in Florida's Everglades to relieve the National Park from these snakes.
The Florida Python Challenge is an annual snake removal competition.
The Burmese python is a large snake that was introduced to Florida and has threatened the local ecosystem.
Burmese pythons, which are native to Asia but have been spreading in the US, prey upon many types of animals including birds, mammals, and other reptiles.
The Conservancy of Southwest Florida said in a news release that the removal of female pythons plays a critical role in disrupting the breeding cycle.
A variety of species are being transported to new environments as a result of globalization, and these nonnative species are costing the world billions of dollars.
