Giant Python Eats Deer In Florida

Florida officials found an invasive snake in the Everglades that had just made a meal out of a rather large native species. A 15.6- foot Burmese Python was discovered with a full deer in its belly. The monster snake was discovered in western Dade County by contractors working for the South Florida Water Management District. The discovery was actually record-breaking – not only was the snake one of the largest ever spotted in the South Florida wild, but its prey was also among the largest ever found devoured by the species. The female deer that the snake was dining on weighed in at 76 pounds.
