It feeds on goats, deer, or reptiles. The Burmese python is one of the most fearsome snakes in the world. Thanks to its very large size (it can measure up to 5 meters) and its hyper-extensible skin at the level of the jaws, the Burmese python can feed on very bulky prey. Introduced in the 1970s and 1980s in the Everglades, Florida (southeastern United States), the Burmese python is an invasive species that wreak havoc in the national park. To curb the population increase, government authorities allow citizens, when they can, to capture the animal.
