Photos show massive snakes captured in Florida Python Challenge
Hailing from the U.S. and Canada, more than 900 people participated in this year's Florida Python Challenge.
The annual 10-day hunt, which ran from July 11 to July 20, encouraged participants to remove invasive Burmese pythons from several locations in South Florida, according to The Palm Beach Post and Naples Daily News, part of the USA TODAY Network.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission organizes the competition targeting the invasive Burmese pythons, which pose a threat to other animals in the Florida Everglades.
"The Florida Python Challenge is an exciting conservation effort which helps protect the rare Everglades habitat and the animals that live there from these invasive, nonnative snakes," according to the challenge website.
The winners will receive a cash prize in the professional, novice and military categories, according to the reports. This year's winners haven't been announced yet.
