Wildlife officials admit they are fighting a losing battle.

Judging from studies of other animals with wide ranges, they likely differ, genetically, from populations in warmer regions “When two species come together they each have a unique set of genetic traits and characteristics they use to increase their survival and their unique habitats and environments,” said Margaret Hunter, a USGS research geneticist and the lead author of the report. Until 2009, it was considered a subspecies of Python molurus, but now is recognized as belonging to a distinct species.. 6 Comments A Burmese python that was captured in Florida's Everglades National Park.
