A Bobcat (Probably) Decapitated a Giant Python in the Everglades. That's a Good Thing
A team of python trackers and removal experts in South Florida have found evidence of a bobcat decapitating and feeding on one of the giant, invasive snakes in a python-infested area near Naples. Judging from the other clues they found, they say it's likely that the bobcat also killed the python, a 13-footer that weighed more than 50 pounds. This would be a promising development — proof that Florida's native critters are, in some cases, adapting to the presence of Burmese pythons, which have no natural predators in the state and are wreaking havoc on wildlife populations in the Everglades. 'The list of species [being impacted by these snakes] is up to around 85,' says Ian Bartoszek, the lead researcher who along with his team found the python that was fed on (and possibly killed) by a bobcat in December 2022. 'It's easier to make a list of what pythons are not eating, than it is to list all the animals that have been found inside pythons to date.' A wildlife biologist and the science coordinator for the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, Bartoszek has spent more than 12 years tracking and hunting Burmese pythons in the area, so he knows what the predators are capable of. In October his team published the first-ever photographs of a python swallowing a full-sized whitetail deer in Florida. The photos proved his long-held suspicions that the snakes are literally 'eating their way through the food web' of the Everglades. (That long list of species includes alligators, too, as other researchers have found.) This is why, Bartoszek says, the discovery of a giant python being fed on and potentially killed by a native predator was so encouraging. 'It's a score for the home team. The Everglades are fighting back.' The discovery itself took place in December 2022 on some conservation land near Naples, in a region that Bartoszek identifies as the Western Everglades. This is where he and his team at the Conservancy focus their efforts, which entail tracking, killing, and removing as many pythons (especially large females) as possible. They do this primarily during the winter breeding season, and they use telemetry equipment and male pythons fitted with tracking devices — also known as 'scout snakes' — to locate the big females. Bartoszek explains that he, fellow researcher Ian Easterling, and some interns were tracking a large male scout snake they named 'Loki' that afternoon in December. They'd seen Loki just days before and he was in prime condition, Bartoszek says. But as they approached Loki's signal to get a closer look, they realized the 52-pound, 13-foot-long snake was not only dead. It was missing its head. 'We started seeing the clues around us. And it was like, wait a second, that animal is buried under the pine needles,' Bartoszek tells Outdoor Life. 'This is a kill site.' He says this realization quickly outweighed the initial disappointment he felt when they found the dead male snake, which had been part of the tracking program for over six years and was one of their best scouts. 'We started to pull away some of the pine needles, and we realized that the head and neck area had been chewed off and cached — which, to my knowledge, caching is typically a feline behavior in our area,' Bartoszek says. 'So we were pretty sure it was a cat.' Bartoszek's money was on a Florida panther, or at least that's what he wanted to believe. He contacted David Shindle, the Florida panther coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and a former colleague of his at the Conservancy. Shindle went out to the site and set up a cellular trail camera, and the next morning, he emailed Bartoszek a short video clip that the trail cam had captured. It showed an adult bobcat returning to the cache to feed on the giant snake. 'So, I lost the bet,' Bartoszek says. 'But it was probably even more interesting that it was a bobcat, because they're more common.' As a researcher, Bartoszek is not one to jump to conclusions. He says they're 'fairly certain' that the bobcat killed the big python, but it's also possible that the snake died of other causes and the cat happened to find it soon afterward. Bobcats are primarily hunters, although studies have shown they will occasionally scavenge dead animals.

Because they are cold-blooded, freezing weather can and does kill pythons and other reptiles. Bartoszek, however, doesn't think it got cold enough to actually kill the python. What's more likely, he says, is that the snake was cold-stunned and unable to defend itself from the bobcat, even though the cat was only half its size. (The average weight for a bobcat in South Florida is around 25 pounds, according to Shindle.) 'I would have loved to have seen that encounter,' Bartoszek says. 'The possibility of a 25-pound bobcat taking down and killing a 52-pound, 13-foot Burmese python is impressive. And I like animals that punch above their weight class.'

Lancaster Conservancy to acquire over 50 acres in York County
YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — The Lancaster Conservancy announced it will acquire a 56-acre property in York County. According to the Lancaster Conservancy, the soon-to-be-acquired 56-acre property, known as the Historic Hellam Preserve, is located in both Hallam Borough and Hellam Township in York County. The historic property includes a floodplain forest, a meadow, a section of Kreutz Creek, and agricultural land. The preserve also boasts several historical structures such as a renovated 19th-century bank barn and farmhouse and a restored 18th-century log cabin. The Lancaster Conservancy says the Graham family donated the preserve, which will be renamed the Ingrid Graham Historic Hellam Nature Preserve in honor of Ingrid Graham, 'whose vision led to the development of what is a cultural, historic, and conservation site.' 'We are so glad that my mother's efforts to transform this special property from a collection ofneglected buildings to a truly beautiful and serene historic homestead, ready for future generations to enjoy and interpret, will now be protected forever. We are proud of our part in its evolution and are happy to see the Lancaster Conservancy steward Historic Hellam Preserve for future generations,' said Kristin Graham, on behalf of the Graham family. The conservancy will officially acquire the property sometime in 2025, at which they will develop a management plan for the preserve that focuses on its unique historical, natural, and cultural resources. According to the Lancaster Conservancy, the new preserve will also serve the Conservancy's engagement and education center. 'The Ingrid Graham Historic Hellam Nature Preserve will help us tell the interrelated story of human and natural histories,' said Keith Williams, the Conservancy's Vice President of Engagement and Education. 'The preserve will serve as the Conservancy's primary education programming hub for York County, while we will continue to engage the community on all of our preserves in the region, especially Wizard Ranch Nature Preserve, which serves as our flagship for ecological restoration education. Once acquired, the nature preserve will become part of the Conservancy's Hellam Hills Conservation Area, which stretches from Wrightsville to Codorus Creek and encompasses over 1,000 acres of forests. 'The Conservancy is honored to partner with the Graham family to celebrate their legacy of careand interpretation of this unique property,' said Fritz Schroeder, the Conservancy's President and CEO. 'Ingrid Graham's passion for the history of this land has created a space that will now educate youth for years to come. This site lends itself to classroom programming, and we are excited to partner with York County schools and youth programs to expand experiential outdoor learning. From a conservation perspective, the Conservancy will create a plan and strategy to nurture the forest, wetlands, and riparian buffers that protect Kreutz Creek.'
