[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Everglades training anyone?
  • Florida researchers captured a female Burmese python that weighed 215lbs and measured 17.7ft long

  • The python was caught at the Picayune Strand State Forest just outside of Naples. The discovery was documented in a newly released piece for National Geographic

  • Researchers found 122 proto eggs inside, which is the largest amount to be discovered in a female

  • The team also determined the python had an entire white-tailed deer as for its last meal

  • The discoveries help scientists learn about the reproduction and feeding behaviors

  • Florida authorities are estimate there are at least 30,000 to 300,000 pythons living in Florida

  • This shows the success of using scout snakes, male pythons with GPS transmitters. The males are released and the snakes lead them to large reproductive females
