Florida's second-heaviest python taken down
How many guys does it take to wrangle Florida's second-heaviest Burmese python? Five, apparently. Mike Elfenbein was one of those guys who experienced a "surreal" and "lucky" take-down at Big Cypress National Preserve in South Florida over the weekend. Elfenbein, his son Cole and three other guys they had just met were in the area just lookin' for pythons. The species of python they caught are not native to Florida and are considered invasive due to their impacts to native wildlife, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
