The Everglades Python Problem

Invasive species are a problem in any state. But, south Florida is having a particular problem with Burmese Pythons.

The Herald Tribune reports:

"Meg Lowman, a biologist based in Sarasota County, reported that about 200 pythons were captured in or near the Everglades National Park from 2002 to 2005. By 2006, the number was 418. By last year, the python population in the Glades was out of control and biologists estimated there were at least 30,000 of them." See full article.
