Invasive species and changing the ecosystem.

First of all the burmese python affects the everglades by laying up to 50 to 100 eggs (video 1). Secondly according to video 1, the python is eating small mammals and nearly whipping out raccoons,bobcats, opossums and other small mammals,last of all the python is a vicious hunter, this beast has heat sensors along their jaws and has back curving teeth, the python hunts by squeezing their prey and swallowing their prey whole (page 44), this is why we need to stop the burmese python in the everglades.

A significant fact to know is that the Burmese python did not come from Florida.  First of all, on page 44, it states “the python is native to the grassy marshes of Southeast Asia. Secondly, the presence of the Burmese Python is completely man made, we know this because on page 44, it explains that people have gotten these snakes as pets but when they got larger and they couldn’t handle it no more so they let them free into the wild.  Also, these snakes are at the top of the food chain too, we know this because on video 1,  it states that the Burmese python is at the top and there is no other predator to eat it, therefore it eats every bit of wildlife it encounters with in the Florida everglades. As you can see, this snake is not from the Florida everglades

Second of all time, The Burmese Python is not supposed to be in the florida Everglades! People let the pythons go because they get to big for them to keep in there house. The Burmese Python has no natural predators, According to the text, (On Page 45) “ With no natural predators these eating machines appear to be wiping out huge numbers of opossums, raccoons, and bobcats, as well as many bird species.” Burmese Pythons can lay up to 100 eggs per month! That is very dangerous because there are more and more snakes in the everglades. (According to the video.) Now I know that the Burmese Python is at the top of the food chain!

The Burmese python is a major problem in the Florida Everglades because it’s an invasive species. In the Florida everglades, the python problem is quickly increasing. Based on video one, it said that the Burmese python can lay 100 eggs a year. The Burmese python is a killing machine! According to Pg.45 it states, “These eating machines appear to be wiping out huge numbers of opossums, raccoons, and bobcats, as well as many bird species.” The Burmese pythons cannot be stopped. In the movie and source 3 it says that the Burmese python has no natural predators and it’s an apex predator. In my opinion the Burmese python is super deadly.

Lastly, people are trying to stop the Burmese python. There has been a challenge started  to stop the Burmese python called the Python Challenge. They have a 1500 cash prize  for whoever hunts and kills the most Burmese pythons. Also a 1000 cash prize for whoever kills the longest snake, found on page 45. Also there can’t just be random people randomly killing the python.  You have to be trained before you enter the challenge it said in video 1. There are definitely some dangers in hunting the python, it isn’t easy. It’s 30 days of hundreds of people running around, armed with shotguns and powerful pythons running around. I’m not a big fan of the python challenge how about you?

# data[].attributes.body
One way to stop the Burmese python is the Python challenge. They have two types of prizes. On page 45 it states who ever kills the most pythons gets 1500 and who ever kills the longest one gets 1000 dollars. How do people handle the Burmese python? They “learn from the experts how to identify, handel,and harvest these giant snakes” page 44. Is the python challenge going to stop the burmese python in the everglades? I can infer that it won't stop the problem because people will keep letting them go in the everglades page 47. This is why we need to stop people from letting the snakes go in the everglades.

Invasive Species That Are Changing The Ecosystem Of The Florida Everglades,Second Of All The Burmese Python Is Not Supposed To Be In The Florida Everglades,The Pythons Get To Big To Be A Pet So People Let Them Go,“With No Natural Predators These Eating Machines Appear To Be Wiping Out Huge Numbers Of Animals”The Burmese Python Needs To Be Dealt With Before They Destroy The Florida Everglades!

# data[].attributes.body
Second of all, these beats are a nuisance to the Florida Everglades. The people of Florida couldn’t handle them as pets. On pg. 45 the texts says,” The snakes were growing too big for the owners in result, the owners started being irresponsible and let the snakes go into the wild”pg 45. Secondly the snakes kills fast, so fast ,”That it is a concern how fast the snake kills its prey. It can unhinge its jaw and swallow up to 5 times the size of its head”. As it says on Pg 44. Finally the snakes have no natural predator. As it said in video 1 “there are no natural predators to kill the burmese python so they just keep laying eggs and having babies”. As you can see we have to do something to get rid of these nuisances.

# data[].attributes.body
Lastly, the python challenge is a way to solve the problem that the burmese pythons have been causing. According to page 45 the challenge is to hunt and kill these pythons with a prize to whoever kills the most pythons. It’s the first ever problem for controlling the overpopulation of the burmese python. On page 45 the text states “tens of thousands of burmese pythons are estimated to be living in the everglades” and many people participate in this challenge and it been effective too. Lastly, the people that want to participate are trained for the challenge. Page 46 states that the competitors will be trained to identify, harvest, handle, and kill the burmese pythons and experts will train them. What do you about the burmese python?

# data[].attributes.body
Secondly the burmese python is an ecosystem destroying machine. It is crazy! The burmese python is wiping out the animal population. In video 1 it says, “There was a disappearance of racoons, bobcats and other small animals.” Also, The burmese python is at the top of the food chain.  It is a apex predator that hunts at night (page 44).The burmese python kills animals in a specific way. On page 44 it says, “They squeeze the animal until it dies and swallows the animal whole.” It is easy to see that the burmese python is an invasive species.

# data[].attributes.body
The Burmese python is not originally from Florida it is from Southeast Asia.This snake had a natural predator but since they have expanded in Forida they have no natural preadators.This snake is on the top of the food chain so it is a apex predator(Video1).This animal is threating the everglades because animal sightings has lowered the past years(Video1).Deer,bunny’s,racoons,and foxes have not been spotted around the area as much as they use to (Video1).The reason this animal is a invasive species is because owners who bought them from the Invasive species shop let them go into the wild(Video1).The people who bought them did not know how big the animal was going to grow and when it got to big they let them go in the wild. So if you go to Florida make sure to keep your eyes peeled for the Burmese python.

# data[].attributes.body
Second of all, the burmese python is not supposed to be in the florida everglades.

One of the reasons the python is in the florida everglades is because people let them go. On page 44 it states  “People found out they had more snake than they could handle”. Also the snake has no natural predators. As it is stated in video 1, “The snake is at the top of the food chain”. In my opinion, this snake needs to be dealt with before it ruins the florida everglades.

# data[].attributes.body
Lastly, every year there is a python challenge to stop the spread of the Burmese python because of the reckless environment danger that it causes. Video one showed me that the men\women that are competing in this challenge are taught how it works, they teach the people how to handle the snake, how when they cause this danger it's not specifically there fault, and they have to understand the snake. Also the win is big dollars, if a team catches the most snakes they get 4,000 dollars if a team catches the longest snake they also get 4,000 dollars all together you could win a sum of 8,000 dollars. Crazy! Finally the dates of when the Python challenge goes on, it starts January first and goes until February third. The Python challenge really helps the lowege of the Burmese python and saves the Florida everglades.

Last the python challenge is the solution to the overpopulation of the burmese python species. One reason for this is the python challenge is the solution to the overpopulation of the burmese python species. According to page 45” the challenge is to hunt and kill pythons, with a grand prize of 1,500,”. This means that more people will help, so the more the merrier.second It was the first challenge for controlling the overpopulation of the species. On page 45 it is proven that it’s the first ever python challenge open to the public from jan. 12 until feb. 10,”. Lastly the competitors were trained for the challenge this is proved because Page 46 states “learn from experts how to identify, handle, and harvest these giant snakes,”. This means that the competitors won't just be going out into the wilderness and shooting things. Now that you have seen what the python challenge is, what do you think about the out the effects of this challenge.

# data[].attributes.body
To do something about the ferocious beast the states Fish and Wildlife Commission are sponsoring the python challenge. It lasts from jan. 12 to feb. 10 as it says on pg. 45. Who ever kills the most pythons gets 4000 dollars and additionally who ever gets the longest python also gets 4000 dollars this is information i found on video one. For safety the states Fish and Wildlife commission is giving training to the public so they are not running around the woods with guns not knowing what they are doing they are getting trained to identify, handle, and harvest them in a civilized way you can find this information on pg. 46. So if you live in the Florida everglades and are looking to help out your community and also looking to possibly make some extra money then the python challenge is for you.

# data[].attributes.body
One way, people are trying to stop these snakes is the python challenge.  First,Some people try to hunt these snakes. “They hunt and kill theses snakes for a grand prize of $1,500.” (page 45 )

Secondly, some people learn how to catch these snakes. They learn how to handle, catch and harvest the python.(page 47 )  The biggest burmese python that gets caught and killed get the
$1,500. The biggest snake that gets caught and killed get all the money.Even though the pythons are a big problem at least some people are doing something about it because, the less snakes the more wild life we have and the more snakes the bigger the problem is.

# data[].attributes.body
One important fact about how the pythons are changing the everglades is because of their amazing hunting skills. Their population is growing rapidly. In video 1, it stated that "... each python can lay up to 100 eggs everyday..."  Also, they are eating machines! In the Florida everglades, they have no natural predators, so they are killing off all of the other animals.  (page 44) Lastly, the climate in Florida is similar to their native climate. The snake’s home is Southeast Asia, which has an alike climate to the everglades. Just make sure you are never dinner for these invasive snakes.

# data[].attributes.body
One way people are trying to stop this problem is by having the Python challenge. From this challenge someone could win eight grand. It says, Winning this challenge, could give someone the opportunity to win 8 grand. And this challenge can be a learning experience for many people. The text states, “This challenge teaches people how to hunt and kill pythons”. This challenge can also help people understand the python predicament better. The text told me, When people are participating in this contest they are learning about the pythons and how to kill them.  This challenge not only can be fun but is also helping the Python issue.

Second of all, the Burmese python is an invasive species wich means intruder to the land in Florida everglades. The Burmese python is huge and almost as big and long as a lamp pole.

According to page 44 they were brought to the everglades by people that found out that they had to much snake that they can't handle or the big python escape next to the jungle were they held a lot of pythons. They are native to Southeast Asia. The Burmese python is at the top of the food chain in the Florida everglades which means that every animal there is in danger including other Burmese pythons. Just don't meet face to face with them!

# data[].attributes.body
A significant fact to know is that the Burmese Python did not come from florida.  First of all on page 44 it states “the burmese python is native to the marshes of southeast Asia.” Second of all the presence of the burmese python was man made. We know this because on page 44 it says “that people have gotten these snakes as pets but then they got larger and they couldn't handle it no more so they let them go into the wild.” also they are at the top of the food chain too, we know this because in video 1 it says “that the burmese python is at the top of the food chain and has no other predators except US!” As you can see this snake is not from florida at all and if you encounter this beast DON'T MESS WITH IT!

# data[].attributes.body
Burmese pythons are an invasive species that are becoming a problem in the Florida everglades. They have been majorly impacting the wildlife, praying on smaller animals. The text states on page 45, " wiping out huge numbers of opossums, raccoons, and bobcats, as well as many bird species." VIdeo 1 also mentioned a severe decline of mammals.

Where are the animals of florida everglades???The burmese python are a top predator.The animals of the everglades are disappearing  because the pithon has no natural predator.What happened the river otters??They have disappeared and I know why because the burmese python travel throw water so river otters are a prime target for food.Why are the waters of the everglades lifeless.The burmese python is the answer because it almost lives in the water so the animals of the water are a reliable source of food for the burmese python.If you are looking for a lifeless place go to the florida everglades with very little animals to see!!!

# data[].attributes.body
One important thing to know is that the Burmese python is an amazing animal.  It is a huge beast!  It is one of the largest snakes in the world.  According to page 44, they can weigh up to 200 pounds, "grow up to 23 feet long," and be "as round as a telephone pole."  Also, they are native to Southeast Asia.  The video showed me that they like grassy, marshy lands, and warm and humid climates.  I can infer that this is a big reason why it's flourishing in the Florida everglades, because the climate is similar to Southeast Asia.  Lastly, people like to have these snakes as a pet. Their beautifully patterned skin, docile temperament, and rapid growth make them a popular.  Just do not let them grab you around the neck!
