Giant Pythons Invade Califorina!!!
Like their immigrant human counterparts some 150 years ago, non-native pythons have realized their manifest destiny.
According to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, California needs to watch out for some large snakes in Florida that are slithering at the break-neck pace of 20 miles per month towards the Bay Area.
Snake Attack!
As if California did not suffer enough from the fires, earthquakes and the threat of crumbling into the Pacific Ocean. Now, as this blog is being published, giant Burmese pythons are set to invade San Francisco in search of mammals such as humans! While these snakes don’t bite, they attack by squeezing their prey.
At 20 miles a month, a determined Burmese python from Florida could arrive in San Francisco as early as August 2020.
“It would be exceptional for one animal to be that unidirectional in its movement, but it’s mathematically possible,” Rodda said.
The snake’s cross-country crawl would be made easier by the large population of beavers along the way, Rodda said.
“Beavers would be a very tasty treat for them,” Rodda said. “No beaver would be safe from a python.”
Indeed this is a great threat to mankind. 12 years is not just enough time to deal with this threat.
