You gotta be on some Steve Irwin stuff to get 87 pythons in a month.
Yeah, if you didn't know, Florida started this program earlier in the year where if you catch the most invasive pythons for the month you win $1,000.
They also hold the Florida Python Challenge each year, where a 10-day hunt brought a guy $10,000 last year. That guy only got 20 of them.
Aaron Mann killed 87 of the buggers during the month of July and his payout is a tenth of that.
Many had this to say👇
Aaron's probably thinking he needs a little bonus cash for his hunt. Or he might just want to get a job as a python removal agent, cuz look at this:
But why are they hunting these pythons?
From South Florida Water Management District:
Invasive pythons threaten our precious native ecosystem by preying upon the wildlife that lives there, including wading birds, mammals, and other reptiles. Every python that is removed and eliminated is making a difference to protect the Everglades and South Florida's diverse and native wildlife. Invasive pythons are one of the most destructive and harmful species in America's Everglades. Their aggressive predation on native wildlife robs panthers, raptors, bobcats, and other native predators of their primary food sources.
You know what, I'm thinking we just found a new pastime for all the prisoners at Alligator Alcatraz!
