Record-breaking Python Found in Florida

Planning a trip to the Everglades? Be sure to watch where you step. The Sun Sentinel says a record-breaking Burmese python was just discovered in the park, measuring 17 feet, 7 inches. And in its belly, 87 eggs—another state record. Scientists say the snake’s length is an indication that pythons have few to no predators, and are able to stay alive for a long, long time in the wild.
