Biologists in the United States have discovered the 'largest python ever'. This Burmese python, found in Florida, is a female python. This dragon is 18 feet long and weighs 98 kg. This female python has 122 eggs in its stomach. Scientists have found hoof remains in the python's stomach, suggesting that the python's last prey was a deer.

After necropsy of this female python, it has been revealed that it has 122 eggs in its stomach. This is the first time that so many eggs have been found in a python's stomach, according to scientists at the Conservancy. Scientists estimate that the python is about 20 years old. It is the largest python ever found in the world. 

According to a newspaper report, scientists had to work hard for 20 minutes to catch this giant python . Scientists have found the remains of a deer in the stomach of the python, which shows it's last prey was a deer. Amy Bennett Williams shared a photo of the dragon on Twitter.

Ian Bartoszek, Conservancy's environmental science project manager, said his organization has been working to find pythons since 2013 under the Python Program of the Conservancy of Southwest Florida. This involves removing the female python from the ecosystem, allowing other organisms to survive. About 1,000 pythons have been wiped out of the Southwest Florida area so far.
