Watch as a Florida Man wrangles a massive python with his bare hands! Safe to say this guy is ready for next year’s Florida Man Games!

Florida is a state full of scary creatures. You’ve got alligators, sharks, spiders, and snakes. That’s not to mention all the other wild weather phenomenon you can experience in the state. In fact, you’re most likely to be struck by lightning in Florida than any other state! However, it’s hard to be scared of lightning when you’re not afraid of a 17-foot python like this guy! Read more and check out the video below!

Florida Man Wrangles A Massive Python With His Bare Hands

The Everglades are a very unique place. It’s famous for not only its beauty but for its extraordinary wildlife. According to the National Wildlife Federation, there are more than 360 species of birds living in the Everglades National Park alone. However, the Everglades are home to more than just birds. There are also alligators and, evidently, massive snakes!

WTSP reports that a man in the Everglades wrangled a 17-foot python at night! I’m sure that would be a tough task to accomplish in the light of day, I can’t imagine how hard it would be to pull off under the moonlight. Clearly, this guy knew what he was doing. WTSP says Matthew Kogo is the man who caught it and is a python hunter for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. He shared the video filmed by his wife on his Instagram and now it’s going viral.

On Dave & Chuck The Freak, we’ve talked about people who’ve took on alligators and there was even a little girl who threw a snake to save her pet Guinea Pig. However, this is still one of the more shocking videos we’ve shared recently. Seriously, think about that size. A 17-foot python!? I wouldn’t want anything to do with that. Of course, that is unless I have this guy with me. He showed no fear in front of the snake. He handled his business calmly and showed how to properly go about handling the reptile. I would not recommend trying it at home. You can tell he was familiar with it and knew what to do.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

5 Animals In North America That Could Kill You

Oh, America the beautiful. Across our wonderful continent of North America you’ll find amazing, adorable animals. However, you’ll also find creatures that are incredibly dangerous. Here are 5 animals in North America that could kill you.

Now, just because they can kill you doesn’t mean they’re out to do it. Yet, it means they have the possibility of doing so! So, it’s best to be aware!

5 Animals In North America That Could Kill You

Well, some of these animals you’re probably already well aware could kill you. However, some of these animals you might not know can kill you. Or, maybe you don’t know they’re actually around! Hey, like NBC used to say, “The More You Know.”

Naturally, there are many more than 5 animals in North America capable of killing you. There are countless. Some may be big powerful animals. Others may be poisonous. It’s important to know what’s out there. These animals could be lurking in your basement. They could be outside your home. Or, they could be all the way across the country from you and pose absolutely no risk of danger or harm.

Of course, when you only select five animals to talk about, you’re leaving a lot on the cutting room floor. So, you won’t hear about any sharks on the list. We know they can kill you. Additionally, jaguars, mountain lions, and American Bison didn’t make the list. That’s right. Bison can kill you, and they have! Not only are Bison huge animals, but they also have horns! Several ways they can take you out. It’s not just limited to a stampede.

Furthermore, I’m counting an “animal” as anything in the Animal Kingdom. They may be reptiles, amphibians, insects, and more. I’m counting them all as animals. I don’t want to hear that “technically, arachnids aren’t animals” or anything. Let’s just relax and have fun.

These 5 Animals Found In America Could Kill You

  • Grizzly Bears

    Grizzly Bears are incredibly dangerous! They’re also massive. They have sharp claws. Additionally, they have very sharp teeth and brute strength. There is no shortage in the ways a Grizzly could kill you. They’re very popular up in Alaska and Western Canada.

  • Alligators

    Alligators are dangerous animals. They’re ancient, smart, and deadly. According to USA Today, alligators have been responsible for 33 human deaths in the last 50 years. Not a great way to go. They’re quicker than you’d think. Then, sneaky, too! Uh oh.

  • Arizona Bark Scorpions

    These small light brown scorpions are deadly! They have venom that is painful and potentially deadly. You don’t want to be stung by one of these. Note that they are nocturnal and are common in southern California, southern Arizona, southern Nevada, and parts of Utah and New Mexico. Black lights can help you spot them at night.

  • Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake

    This species of rattlesnake is endemic to the Southeastern United States. Of course, there are other common rattlesnakes found across the country that are also deadly. They like to live in upland dry pine forests, flatwoods, sandhills, and coastal maritime hammocks. Also, they are excellent swimmers! So, don’t try to get away by swimming. They’ll catch you! It’s said to be the most dangerous venomous snake in all of North America.

  • Brown Recluse Spider

    The Brown Recluse Spider has necrotic venom. Their bites will often require medical attention. It is one of three spiders in North America with dangerous venom along with the Black Widow and Chilean Recluse. They’re mostly found in the Central United States. They are very dangerous and harmful to the older community and younger individuals. They’re typically between 6 and 20 millimeters.
