A Burmese python was found underneath the hood of a Ford Mustang in Florida, specialists reported Thursday.
The 10-foot snake was caught by officers from Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission with no reports of injuries in the city of Dania Beach, the agency wrote on Facebook.
Burmese pythons, which are not local to Florida, go after local well evolved creatures, reptiles and birds in the southern part of the state, FWC said.
Wild-caught pythons are not secured under Florida law and are permitted — and even encouraged — to be killed, the agency said.
