The rising superhuman species threatens human habitats in Florida
A new hybrid species of Indian python and python is said to start rising in Florida, USA, threatening to invade human land.
According to The Sun, this super-python species are thought to have left the wetlands to expand their habitat to drier lands.
A new, emerging python species in Florida, USA.
Researchers discovered the new python, a giant Burmese hybrid and Indian python , while studying the tail of 400 newly caught pythons in Everglades, Florida.
Margaret Hunter, who led the study, told the Miami Herald that they studied pythons to 'learn about aggression'.
The DNA testing process shows that 13 of the 400 python samples are of an unprecedented hybrid species, linked between Burmese pythons and Indian pythons - which favor a drier habitat.
The new python inherits the dominant genetic characteristics of both Burmese and python pythons.
Indian pythons are also smaller, faster and more ferocious than Burmese pythons. That means a super-python species may have emerged, inheriting the superior genetic elements of both species.
'When combining two species together, we have a special genome and genetic trait, which helps new species to be better able to survive and adapt to the environment , ' said Margaret Hunter.
'The natural selection process will give new pythons superior to their parents , ' Ms. Hunter added.
This led to concerns that the new python could soon invade dry areas, outside the swamp in the Everglades.
The number of Burmese pythons in Florida has yet to show signs of decline.
The new python will also make hunters more difficult to subdue in Florida. Exotic creatures such as Burmese pythons and Indian pythons are now making the biological population in Florida decline sharply.
The amount of foxes, ferrets, rabbits and even crocodiles is falling sharply in the giant python area. Florida officials have used a variety of ways to control python numbers, including paying hunters, training hunting dogs that specialize in hunting alien species.
Researchers are still investigating how many pythons in Everglades are the new hybrid species between giant Burmese pythons and Indian pythons.
