Breaking news: Burmese pythons in Florida have been found to have mouths that can stretch even wider than previously thought, allowing them to consume prey six times bigger than other snakes of similar size. Researchers studied three captured snakes measuring 15-19 feet long and found their mouth gapes could expand up to 10.2 inches wide, increasing the total area by 40%. This discovery has implications for native wildlife populations in Florida, highlighting the need for continued conservation efforts.
