by n a record-setting expedition, conservationists in the Everglades captured and removed 11 invasive pythons from the environment.
The mating ball contained a 14-foot-long (4.2 m) female and five males, and two additional males were found close to the aggregation, Ian Bartoszek, a wildlife biologist and science coordinator at the conservation organization Conservancy of Southwest Florida, told Live Science in an email.
Burmese pythons are thought to have been introduced to the Everglades at some point before 1985 when they were released into the wild via the pet trade.
