OCHOPEE, FL (Gray News) - A research team in Big Cypress National Preserve found and removed a female python that was over 17 feet long and weighed 140 pounds, the largest ever seen in the area, according to the preserve’s Facebook page.
The team found the python by using a new approach in which researchers track male pythons by using radio transmitters. This helps them to locate breeding females.
