NatGeo wild

Scientists and hunters team up to fight one of the biggest ecological threats to the Florida Everglades: the Burmese python. In the 1990s, pet pythons were released into the wild and have eaten their way through the food chain. Today, nobody knows how many there are, but estimates may be in the hundreds of thousands. We follow the scientists as they track, gather data, and try to understand better how Pythons reproduce and adapt in the Everglades. Ian Bartoszerk and his team at the Conservancy of Southwest Florida use male scout snakes to lead them to females with the potential to lay up to eighty eggs at a time. At the U.S.G.S., Amy Yackle and Mark Sandfoss work in tandem with wildlife biologists from the National Park Service and the University of Florida to battle female reproduction on another front — Alligator Alley.
