Exotic Invaders: Pythons in the Everglades

EXOTIC INVADERS: PYTHONS IN THE EVERGLADES documents how the Everglades’ fragile and treasured ecosystem is under attack by invasive species including an apex predator-the Burmese python. The Burmese python, a ravenous snake that rivals the anaconda in size and appetite, has gained a foothold in the Everglades. Since its arrival, the native animal populations of possums, raccoons, bobcats, foxes, otters and armadillos have crashed by as much as 98 percent. The one-hour documentary features interviews with the hunters, scientists and policy makers on the front lines of the battle against Florida’s pythons.
