Wow , hundreds and now those hundreds are half a million , there's a half a million Pythons , they estimate . So because Burmese Python invasion of South Florida Ever Everglades populations of raccoons and opossums dropped roughly 99% and some species of rabbits and foxes effectively disappeared . Species that had long flourished here are being decimated by the aggressive newcomers .
I thought that was the whole problem . Another part of the problem was that there was a wildlife research facility where they were studying pythons and somehow or another , it got destroyed in a storm and the Pythons got out . Was that so , yeah .
It is a free for all . You know what else they've spotted in the Everglades . They spotted Nile crocodiles .
They size you up and the only reason why they're not eating you is because you're not big enough or they're not big enough , they're not big enough and if they grow . But this was , I was talking about the guy , the python hunting , I think in Florida now you , anyone can hunt a Python and you get , you get a prize too , like you get money . Then you get serious .
I think they don't know exactly what you know , which percentage comes from the uh the pets from the 19 seventies and shit . People that go thousands of specimens of exotic species escaped their cages and enclosures during the passing the storm through the South Dade County State environmental inspection reporting reported 10 days after the hurricane . Witnesses spotted hundreds of large snakes and non venomous snakes loose .
