“Rabbits Over Bobcats, Hands Down” Says Local Python

Dorcas and his team have driven over 57,000 kilometres of Everglades tracks, counting animals as they went. They worked between sunset and sunrise on 313 separate nights. Their roadside census showed that since 2003, when the python populations really took off, raccoon sightings have fallen by 99.3 per cent. Opossum numbers have fallen by 98.9 per cent. There are 87.5 per cent fewer bobcats. They didn’t see a single rabbit.

Have you or a loved one been eaten by a python? Do you live in the Everglades? Are you the size, shape, or taste of a rabbit? If you answered yes to any of these questions, call Dorcas now!
