The python is an invasive species, and the panther is an endangered species. Both in my backyard by the way. If you have the means to kill a python and save a panther, you take it. It's irresponsible to sit back and let it happen for the sake of a useless three minute video. Your park ranger answer is a weak at best, and quite frankly, you would not be exhibiting any scientific integrity by letting a tragedy occur.

@Zlevitt555 Your comment is besides the point of my video work on invasive species and its resulting problems to the environment. Also, any decent scientific work is based on its precise analytical approach and not your lack of observation and emotional outbursts...

Sorry Pal, only baby puma and mountain lions are at risk, ive seen jaguars kill anacondas and pythons. Adults atleast. Cats are way too fast and agile

[ojatro]

@floridajaguar Obviously you've never had or witnessed an agressive constrictor in the wild. Large cats, such as lions and leopards are capable to kill adult pythons but that doesn't mean the very same can happen vis versa...

[TheDryDragon]

if you were there, watching them, why didn't you stop the python? if the panther is in trouble, why didn't you just make it run away from the python? i would, if i could...

[ojatro]

@TheDryDragon It's the same as if you would ask the park ranger an african safari park to stop the lions (or any predator) from attacking their prey.

[ojatro]

@Remro88 There is no statistic available on how many pythons are in South Florida but their numbers run high. The threat is directed towards the endangered species here in Florida and it's a blind assumption of yours to make such a statement without knowledge nor research to back it up.

[JustMeSeason]

I hate pythons.



[MyGatorHatesU]

I say spread the word that pythons, nile monitors, anacondas are good bar-b-q and lets see how long the suckers last!

[Wesselsmaster]

The panther is really smart!

[mahoney2002]

I have seen a documentary here in Germany what shows that most of the Pythons will not survive a hard winter in the keys.

Most of them died and i thought this would help to dispose the Pythons.

But your videos shows me that this is not.

The Pythons are a big problem.

But the real problem are the owner of the snakes who releases them in the nature.

[vidform]

If the Burmese Python is a threat to Florida's endangered species, is there someone out there, an organization, that can either kill off the pythons or at least capture and return them back to Burma or wherever they came from? Watching this video makes me want to avoid visiting Florida more and more. Also, I wish it was against the law for people to own large snakes as pets. Little snakes that don't grow beyond 18-24 inches is fine... I guess. But larger than that is terrifying.

[AtarahDerek]

I have to wonder if she realized how strong the python was or if she simply assumed that, like all of Florida's native large snakes, it was venomous.

[jchiapet]

@TheDryDragon right.... so he can risk being attacked by two different creatures capable of killing him... real smart...

the panther isn't going to view your altruistic intentions with delight, a panther will only see another potential predator (and the most lethal one at that) confronting it and it will defend itself

[pseudechis]

Obviously setup with a tame python tipped out on the ground with a tame cat. You would expect a wild python to be highly defensive if approached by a large cat.

Regardless of setup, good footage and interesting commentary.

This panther is a jackass...
