Reporting from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. -
Fears of a new "super snake" emerging in the Everglades grew this week during a hunt to track South Florida's invasive python population.
A three-day, state-coordinated hunt that started Tuesday had, by Wednesday, turned up at least five African rock pythons -- including a 14-foot-long female -- in a targeted area in Miami-Dade County.
In Africa, the rock python eats creatures as large as goats and crocodiles. There have been cases of the snakes killing children.
Three of the African rock pythons found in the snake hunt this week were captured, and two got away. One had a circumference of 31 inches. Another was bearing eggs.
