300,000 Burmese pythons are wreaking havoc on Florida’s Everglades, wiping out species like bobcats, raccoons, possums, and foxes. We’re at a tipping point with the Burmese python.
Those who remove them are the sheepdogs of the Everglades, defending an ecosystem unlike any other in the world. If we lose this fight, we lose something irreplaceable.
Catching a Burmese python requires serious strength and functional fitness. While not everyone can hunt pythons, as apex predators, we all share a responsibility to protect our planet, its animals, and each other.
This workout was designed to raise awareness for those removing pythons from the Everglades—many of whom are veterans and first responders—and for the 90% of the Everglades’ small mammals that are now gone.
To help, order your patch, download the PDF, complete the workouts, and get after it.
All net proceeds from the sale of the Burmese Python Tee and Burmese Python Anti-Virtual Challenge Patch will be donated to Swamp Apes.
