I had followed the increasing issue of invasive species in Florida and the Everglades in particular, but not living there, it is not high on my list. Yesterday, at work while eating lunch, I came across these videos, and since I don't have cable and don't watch television, it was a new thing to me!

I can't watch them on YouTube at home because it now requires me to sign in or accept cookies, neither of which I will ever willingly do.

Heh, but watching these rednecks grabbing pythons was entertaining.

What was funny was when they went fishing for another invasive species, the Pacu, which is a relative of the Pirhana and has teeth that looks like this!

One of the guys said to the other two "They have been known to take off fingers and toes, and...have a reputation for going for balls!"

Heh, the other two, an overweight redneck and a wiry cajun redneck both recoiled, and when they caught one of the fish, it was hilarious to see how squeamish they both were, these guys who had no hesitation going after gators and snakes with their bare hands, but didn't even want to put their feet in the water when they were pulling in "the ball eater"!

A couple of guys,,,Joey Slay Em and Monster Mike are pretty amusing. There’s a place called Underground Reptiles that sells field-collected invasives from Florida.

That is one disturbing fish.

Proof that man evolved from Pacu...
