In recent wildlife news, a video of a massive crocodile in Malaysia has gone viral, with viewers describing the footage as particularly unsettling. Meanwhile, in Florida, the battle against invasive Burmese pythons continues to be a challenging endeavor. Ecologists estimate that the detectability of these pythons in South Florida is less than 1 percent, suggesting that even with a significant number present, only a few would be visible. The situation is further highlighted by an incident in the Everglades where a large alligator was seen with a sizable python in its mouth. Despite efforts, experts argue that eradicating Florida's pythons is likely impossible, a sentiment echoed in a recent podcast discussing the issue.

To wage war on the Burmese python first, you have to find them. In South Florida, ecologists peg their detectability at less than 1 percent. That means there could be 100 snakes in your immediate area and you'd only see one. https://t.co/ONNrCfMaLI
