The Everglade Emerald

I chose a Burmese python and their name is “The Everglade Emerald”. The pythons are apex predators and can weigh up to 200lb. Burmese pythons have sharp teeth and strong jaws. Burmese pythons are also nocturnal and swimmers. Burmese pythons eat a wide variety of species, including endangered ones like the Key Largo wood rat. Burmese pythons can live up to 20 years. The pythons were doing great in the Everglades but a new species was born and ate the pythons' food supply. The Burmese pythons had to switch to a different food source but that made them have gut bacteria so they moved to Michigan. The Burmese pythons grew 5 feet and legs. The Burmese pythons were good but winter came. Some pythons died in the winter so they came up with a new idea. Pythons stock up, then they would dig and hibernate in holes for winter.
