Researching Pythons in Florida's Big Cypress National Preserve 

Researching Pythons in Florida's Big Cypress National Preserve: We’re in the swamp lands in south Florida - Big Cypress National Preserve - on the hunt for Burmese Pythons, and invasive species that is non-native to the land and threatening the local animal population such as the Florida Panther. We’re on the preserve to see how the National Park & National Park Service (NPS) is trying to track & manage the growing python problem in Big Cypress National Preserve. The python population in this south Florida is running rampant and it’s incredibly challenging getting a beat to stop them. Evidently, pythons are ambush hunters that stay motionless for hours waiting for prey to move right in front of them.
