( CNN) The Burmese Python is one of the largest serpents in the nations of the world. But even by python standards, this one was colossal.
The snake is the largest python ever removed from Big Cypress National Preserve, a 729,000 -acre expanse of swampland west of Miami in South Florida, according to a statement Friday on the preserve’s Facebook page.
After it was captured, the python was used by the researchers to collect data.
