How Burmese pythons became an invasive species in Florida. #burmesepython #invasivespecies #florida
source
And yet you can’t catch or kill Burmese pythons in the Everglades where they are the most prominent/actually live
Mother nature will run her course
They weren't the only snakes that were there, there were green anaconda, king cobras, black momba , trust me I was there
Crazy Americans.
I say let them cook
So we caused this and blame, hate & punish these animals. Adds up.
And I don't disagree with removing them, I just think all the hate & disrespect for these animals is ridiculous. People genuinely enjoy killing them.
Do they eat them? Snake stakes?
Stop killing them
What is a natural predator to a Burmese python tho?
Why are we catching them instead of shooting them with shotguns.
Also dosent help that you can't legally kill them in the national parks
Stupid Florida for selling them for profit😊
Florida!!!
Not all did escape the facility. Some were brought to the Everglades by worried parents, when they grove too big. Life will always find a way. Stupid people and ignorant lawmakers…
America should have not allowed pet stores to sale these things here. They need to stop it now. It should be illegal to own them.
Just light it on fire the whole Everglades
At least 4 of the snakes shown in this video weren’t Burmese pythons 😂
Hmmm… The only way…
We catch em with shotguns.😂 way less work. Get way more. Florida should start putting bountys on Burmese skins. It would make a huge dent.
That one time when you need humans to do what they're good at and they don't do it. 🤦♂️
And why can’t you just go out there and start hacking them with a machete?
So isn't releasing a population of animals that feed on these pythons in their native environment the solution instead of catching it one by one 😅!?
You cant blame the animals
Send I king cobras they will eat the babies
Just turn them into a delicacy
It's over. The snakes cannot and will not be contained.
Handy hint, don't breed invasive species, as this is what happens.
Just like deer here in Australia, and now they're in the wild!
Just lop off the head and onto the next
🤣🤣🤣
What are their natural predators?
Killem all
Fishingarret out here hunting them like they're nothing
Mack boots and belt out of them
Nice, it's a revenge because your country invade south east asia. .now our animals invade yours
Holy shit a snake ate an whole ass alligator!!
I hope people are eating them 🙂
