The number of Burmese pythons that were removed by Ronald Kiger, the winner of this year’s Florida Python Challenge.

The 10-day hunt was created to bring awareness to the threat that these snakes pose to the Florida Everglades ecosystem. More than 800 people from 33 states and Canada participated in the challenge this year, removing a total of 195 pythons from the wild. Kiger received $10,000 for the win.
