💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐍🐊 Biologists in #Florida tracked 40 male "scout #snakes" using radio telemetry to locate breeding females, removing 177 invasive Burmese #pythons weighing a combined 8,080 lbs (3,665 kg) from #Collier County.

This targeted approach stopped roughly 4,100 unhatched python #eggs from hatching and further damaging the delicate #Everglades food web.
