University of Florida researchers documented a surprising new threat to Burmese python eggs in the Everglades, adding to growing evidence that native wildlife is fighting back against the invasive species.

Florida researchers fitted GPS-collared opossums to track Burmese pythons from the inside — and the hidden biology of this tiny marsupial makes it the perfect secret weapon.

A Burmese python population has emerged in Southwest Florida, raising fresh concerns about the invasive predator's spread.

Predators are often judged by the size of the animals they can overpower. Yet in the wild, a successful hunt does not always end with a successful meal.
