198-pound Burmese python fought 5 men before capture in Florida: "It was more than a snake, it was a monster"
CBSN
Conservationist Mike Elfenbein was at Big Cypress National Preserve in FLorida with his teen son hunting for pythons when they both spotted the largest snake they had ever seen slithering across the gravel road.
"It was more than a snake, it was a monster," Elfenbein told CBS News. Elfenbein said he occasionally hunts Burmese pythons in the 729,000-acre preserve but had never seen a snake that large.
Three other hunters – Trey Barber, Carter Gavlock and Holden Hunter – saw the snake at the same time. There was no way to miss the snake, which Elfenbein said stretched out almost the length of the road.
