What's Hot: Largest python ever found in Florida is 18 feet long and weighs over 200 pounds

The largest
Burmese python ever seen in Florida has been captured in the Everglades,
according to National Geographic.
Florida
researchers found the nearly 18-foot long, 215 pound female python, the largest
ever found outside its native habitat.
Pythons are
not native to Florida and usually grow between 6 and 10 feet but in
Southeast Asia they commonly reach 18 to 20 feet long.
After
euthanizing the female snake, researchers found bits of fur, clumps of
dissolved bone and a chunk of a hoof, evidence that the python's last meal was
an adult white-tailed deer.
