“And pythons in South Florida who are reducing indigent mammals.”
The pythons in southern Florida are eating the alligator’s usual food source. Rabbits, squirrels, Opossums, etc were the alligator’s food source. I’ve read recently that pythons are also eating some of the small alligators. The alligators are moving north and adapting to cooler climates. Gators are being found further and further north in creeks and ponds. Not all of those found in northern states are from pet store purchases from years ago being released into the “wild”.
Will the pythons eventually do the same and acclimatize themselves to cooler climates? Can we train them to hunt politicians “north of Richmond”?
I propose Florida’s alligators be “transported” to the Rio Grande.
