This giant python was found last week at the Everglades National Park, where a Burmese python population is living.

It was taken to Florida's Museum of Natural History last Friday to check. It is expected that it will be exhibited here for 5 years before returning to where it was found.

Burmese Burmese infiltrated the United States through the strange pets of the people of this country about three decades ago.

However, this animal after escaping into the natural environment has become a threat to many native organisms.

If 25 years ago, researchers took a long time to find a Burmese python in the Everglades, they could now easily find 14 in just one day.

By studying the reproductive and eating behavior of Burmese pythons, American scientists hope that they can find ways to control their threat to other US wildlife in the future. hybrid
