"Monster Python"
In Florida's Everglades "python hunters" are attempting to control the python population (approximately 100,000) through a cull. In this show, experts dissect two pythons: a 9-foot male and a 14-foot female. The program explores the science of slithering, as well as the development of "infra-red goggles" that let the snakes hunt warm-blooded prey in the dark and a flexible jaw that allows them to stretch their mouths around huge prey, including alligators.
