US snake hunters fight pythons big enough to devour gators

Arabnews24.ca:Thursday 3 August 2023 08:40 PM: Since python removals began in Florida, around 17,000 of them have been removed in total. Only a small number have been killed during the contest, which has grown to become an annual tradition under Governor Ron DeSantis. In addition, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission also runs the Python Elimination Program, which pays "python removal agents" to kill them, and has recently trained dogs to sniff them out.
