Python Catchers - Saving the Everglades

Invasive Pythons have become a serious issue in Florida in recent years, and as told through the eyes of a clever wood stork and curious marsh rabbit in this illustrated volume for children, the plight of native species and their habitats comes alive for younger readers.  An easy-to-read, colorful, and entertaining natural history, Python Catchers offers detailed information on the various python species, the risks they pose to other animals, and a lively story to inspire young conservationists. Information on what readers can do to prevent the introduction of invasive species, the laws about exotic pets, a comprehensive glossary, and a list of resources are also included.
