16-Foot-Python Killed In Florida; Deer Found In Stomachach

In this article you'll find a mind blowing story along with photos of a 15.65 Foot Python that was shot and killed in the Everglades! They cut the stomach open of this Burmese Python that had a small deer inside of it, and it was still fully intact! The deer weighed in at 76 pounds and the snake at 215.4 with the deer, 139.1 without the deer. Though it is illegal to kill an animal like this, officials used a shot gun to kill the python for they feared the species reproducing and moving further north and becoming a threat to people and properties. Officials say people get these snakes as pets often times and with how rapidly they grow over a year span they let them loose in fear of them growing out of their tanks or cages. When they let them free in the wilderness is when they become dangerous like this one. In 2009 a couple in south florida was found guilty for the death of a 2 year old toddler who was strangled by their pet snake who got loose one day. Though they make good pets, you need to beware of how dangerous a Python can be!
