Destroy the giant python in America

The 5.8-meter reptile, weighing 58kg, was arrested and stabbed to death in Florida, USA and is the longest python ever caught in this state.

While driving in the evening of May 11, Jason Leon and a friend discover a piece of a python about 1 meter long sticking out. Leon decides to stop, get out of the car, grab the reptile's neck and pull out. At that time, he knew how big it really was.

Pulled out of the bush, the python immediately wrapped around Leon's feet. After a struggle, Leon stabbed it with his knife.

It is a Burmese python, 5.8 meters long, weighing 58kg. It broke the record of a 5.4-meter python captured in August last year at the Everglades National Park.

Leon Jason, a student of the Marine Biology Research School, said he once owned a Burmese python and so he had experience dealing with this species.

Burmese Python is native to Southeast Asia and can be up to 7 meters long, weighs 200kg. The python breeding facilities in Florida have left Burmese pythons out and since then, they have grown to tens of thousands of animals, mainly in marshes. Burmese pythons are a threat to wildlife, so the Florida government always wants to eliminate them if possible.

Kristen Sommers, a leader of Florida's Wildlife and Fish Conservation Commission (FWC), praised Leon's brave action for eliminating a large Burmese python and reporting the incident.

The giant python was transferred to the Fort Lauderdale University of Research and Education in Florida for research.
