A professional python hunter, hired by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Enrique Galan catches a Burmese python, in Everglades National Park, Florida on August 11, 2022. – Enrique Galan may freeze with fear every time he spots a yellow grasshopper, but that doesn’t stop him from regularly disappearing into the Everglades to hunt down Burmese pythons, an invasive species that has been damaging Florida’s wetland ecosystem for decades. When not working at his job staging cultural events in Miami, the 34-year-old spends his time tracking down the nocturnal reptiles from Southeast Asia.
