?Chapter 191: Chapter 158: Realized Your Mistake?_1 Chapter 191: Chapter 158: Realized Your Mistake?_1 In the evening, Feng Yi returned to the dormitory. It was daytime for Steve, who had just woken up from a good night’s sleep and sent Feng Yi a few photos and videos of the python he had caught last night.
“Four meters two, quite a large one. When we arrived, it had just swallowed a crocodile, one of the research center’s observation targets. On the way back, they cursed the whole way, sigh.”
Feng Yi glanced at the photos of the python. “This python looks a bit different from the ones I’ve seen before.”
“It’s a crossbreed, a mix between an African rock python and a Burmese python. Such hybrids are likely to have both the temperament of the rock python and the large size of both the Burmese and rock pythons.”
The training course also covered this. The pythons caught during this hunting event would undergo strict selection, and those that qualified would be introduced into certain regions in the country. For example, smaller and more docile Burmese pythons would be introduced, but larger adults would still be treated with caution.
Currently, the only place with a high density of pythons is a small area in Florida, but globally, they are endangered.
Just like how Feng Yi joined the Nan Chong scientific research team on an expedition into the mountains for so long and only saw a few pythons. Catching a python was as exciting as winning a big prize.
The python that Steve and the Florida researchers caught last night did not meet the import criteria.
“Such crossbred pythons are not eligible for introduction into the country. They’re very aggressive, have a history of attacking humans proactively, and even instances of swallowing children. Their concealment in the bushes is particularly effective, so we’ll need to be cautious about this type when the time comes,” Steve said.
Most of these pythons would not aggressively attack adults, but with recorded incidents, one must be vigilant, never knowing if the next encounter could be with a fierce individual.
Feng Yi enlarged the photos to take a closer look. From the first glance, he had noticed that the color and pattern of the python in the pictures were indeed different from those he had seen before. It also had a scent of bloodiness, an impression he got from the photos.
The current state of the Great Swamp had Steve feeling conflicted, but he quickly adjusted his mood and was quite confident, eager to try. “The hunting event hasn’t started yet, so access to the deeper parts of the Great Swamp is restricted. But I’ve gotten chummy with the local researchers, and I follow them out on their tasks. There are seven or eight more outings before the official hunt begins. Just you wait, I’ll catch a five-meter one to welcome you guys!”
However, in reality, Steve didn’t even see a four-meter python in the expeditions that he joined, let alone a five-meter one. The only python he encountered, which was over three meters, had lost a fight with a crocodile. When Steve and his group arrived, the crocodile was feasting on it, much like someone munching on spicy strips.
“It’s not easy to find an exceptional individual in the wild!” Steve messaged Feng Yi in frustration.
An exceptional individual refers to pythons that are five or six meters long, a size that almost reaches the environmental limits of what can be sustained.
As for the other absurd news reports that casually mention seven to eight meters or even ten to fifteen meters, a seven or eight meters python might still be a rare exceptional individual of a certain species, and most likely it would be captive-raised. But a fifteen-meter one is simply an outrageous claim made with eyes closed, designed to clickbait.
