For years, these invasive pythons have been wreaking havoc on the local ecosystem, swallowing everything from rabbits to deer. The state of Florida, desperate to regain control of the wild, has turned to these hunters as a last-ditch effort.

So, while most of us are content with Netflix and chill, these folks are out there wrestling with some of nature’s most terrifying predators. Maybe they’re heroes, maybe they’re lunatics—either way, they’re diving headfirst into a scaly nightmare that most of us would rather just watch from a safe distance.
