Youtube video with three minute run-time
This video discusses a Burmese Python in the Florida Everglades swallowing a mature, Whitetail doe (female). Off the top of my head, my guess is that a 1-1/2 year-old Florida doe might average 90 pounds on-the-hoof.
According to the CDC, the median 12 year-old girl and the fifth percentile 15 year-old girl both weight 90 pounds.The Everglades is not a healthy place for petite people to become too absorbed in their hand-held devices.
Hat-tip to Lucas Machias
Panther or Python... Hmm.
ReplyDeleteMost folks don't realize that there are places on the Earth you can go and NOT be the top of the food chain.
Not 20k Cajuns - how about 20k illegals?
ReplyDeleteI’m going with the Cajuns this time. Boa gumbo, anyone?

My intention is not to feed the Boas but to introduce them to a higher-order predator.
DeleteI see and approve of what you did there. Python boudin and etouffe? Constrictor fingers? Boa bites? So many possibilities. Not even getting into boots, belts, and hats. Where’s Boudreaux and his buddies when we really need them?

Dang. Can’t do that! OPSEC.
DeleteI’d be willing to put it in a sauce piquant.
ReplyDeleteBiologist found himself a lifetime job, I doubt he trying hard to rid the state of snakes.
ReplyDeleteI saw at least one episode of Swamp People, where Troy (Shoot 'im Lizbeth!) and the other gator hunter were in FL helping hunt down pythons.
