5.4 meters long Myanmar python weighs 97.5 kg in Florida

According to the US "Fox News" reported on June 23, a group of researchers from the Southwest Protection Association of Florida in the United States captured a 97.5 kg, 5.4 -meter -long Myanmar python.Lan Bartoszek, a wild biologist at the Protection Association, said this is the heaviest snake they captured.

Because this python belongs to the invasive species, biologists have implemented euthanasia."This python may be over 15 years old or even more than 20 years old." Bartoszek said.The remains found in the internal organs of this python can be inferred that its last meal is likely to be an adult white -tailed deer.Researchers at the University of Florida found 24 kinds of mammals, 47 kinds of birds and 2 types of reptiles in the abdomen of many Myanmar pythons.

BARTOSZEK has worked in the Protection Association for 20 years.Over the past 10 years, he and his team conducted radio remote test research on the Burmese python invaded in the area. They used this method to clear more than 1,000 snakes.(Compilation report of China Youth Network)
