A Florida trapper wrangled a python measuring 17 feet and 1 inch over the weekend in the Everglades near Fort Lauderdale, and the major catch was caught on video.
Matthew Kogo, a trapper for the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, found the snake in the Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area.
In the video, Kogo keeps a firm grip on the python’s head as it wriggles. The caption explains how he lets the invasive snake tire itself out, so as not to put himself in a dangerous situation.
