According to the New York Post, on June 23, local time, Florida, the United States, announced that it has captured a Myanmar python with a length of more than 5 meters and weighing about 400 pounds, and three people can raise it. In the stomach of the python, 122 python eggs were also found. This python is the largest in the state. Biologists were surprised to find that the python swallowed a whole deer before his death.

The python found in Florida

It is reported that in December last year, a wild animal biologist group in Florida discovered the female python in the Grand Marshland National Park. Researchers and it fought for 20 minutes and eventually captured it.

This python is about 5.5 meters long, weighs 195 kg, and weighs nearly two adults. The three researchers jointly carried the python from the woods.

But after returning to the research base, the researchers found that the python had died. Until April this year, the python had been stored in the cold storage. During the autopsy, biologists found that there were 122 python eggs hidden in the python's belly.

At the same time, the researchers also found the white -tailed deer wreckage in the python's stomach, which means that the last meal before its death was an adult white tail deer.

According to Wild Biologist Ian Bartoszek, it was actually a male "investigating snake" that found this python. Earlier, researchers installed radio transmitters on this male snake to track their living habits. Through the "Snake Snake", the researchers finally found this female python.

The research team said the Myanmar python was the largest invasive creature discovered by Florida. It is reported that Myanmar python has a rapid breeding after the invasion, which is of great harm to wild animals in the invasion.

It is reported that the Florida Reserve began a python catching competition in 2013, and the most python can get $ 2,500 (equivalent to about 16,000 yuan). Last year, more than 600 people from 25 states participated in the plan.

After the start of itself, there were more than 1,000 pythons in the southwest of Florida in about 260 square kilometers. Earlier, the largest female python weighed 168 catties.
