Burmese Pythons Exterminating Everglades Mammals

February 2, 2012 | ISSUE 48•05

A study in the journal Proceedings Of The National Academy of Sciences links a drastic decline in raccoons and other mammals in the Florida everglades to the introduction of Burmese pythons. What do you think?

No kidding. Now you understand why I dumped those damn pythons in the first place.

Wow, no more raccoons. This is great news for the Everglades' native trash can and attic populations.

What is it with Floridians' unwavering determination to make their state a 1970s horror exploitation flick?
