    Pythons can be deadly to people

    Woman Swallowed by Python as She Checked on Her Cornfield​

    The Editors 23 hrs ago
    A woman in Indonesia was swallowed whole by a python as she checked on her corn fields last week. According to The Washington Post, citing the Jakarta Post, the woman's name was Wa Tiba and lived on Muna Island off the coast of Sulawesi. She left her home Thursday night to visit her cornfield about a half mile from her home.
    Reticulated pythons are common in the area, but it was actually wild boars that Wa had been worried about initially because they'd be destroying her crops, according to the Jakarta Post's report.

    When Wa didn't return, her sister went out to find her and found Wa's footprints, flashlight, slippers and machete. On Friday, 100 villagers from Persiapan Lawela searched the area and found a 23 foot-long snake with a very swollen belly. The villagers killed the snake, cut it open and found Wa inside intact.

    Pythons are the longest snake in the world and usually only eat smaller mammals. However, a similar incident happened last year to a farmer from the nearby village of Salubiro on Sulawesi Island, according to The Washington Post.

    Tiger shrimp have invaded US waters, but they are bigger and good to eat. Not known how much they will damage the environment.

    The feral hog is also an invasive special. Possibly first got to what is the usa from DeSoto expedition.

    Hernando de Soto (/də ˈsoʊtoʊ/;[4] Spanish: [eɾˈnando ðe ˈsoto]; c. 1500 – May 21, 1542) was a Spanish explorer and conquistador who was involved in expeditions in Nicaragua and the Yucatan Peninsula. He played an important role in Pizarro's conquest of the Inca Empire in Peru, but is best known for leading the first European expedition deep into the territory of the modern-day United States (through Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and most likely Arkansas). He is the first European documented as having crossed the Mississippi River.[5]
    some of the swine brought by de Soto escaped and became the ancestors of feral razorback pigs in the southeastern United States.[52][53][54][55][56] wiki


    Hogzilla caught in the east texas piney woods years back with Hines Texas Ranger blood via a Bo Howdy son. You can see the white bulldog behind his trophy catch.
    Yup that's how big that hog is the pic cuts off his back end. A lot of pork chops

    peacocks are delicious too
    I have never tried one, but there is not reason why they would not be good. Is the breast meat white or dark. I suspect it would be like chicken since peacocks are not strong flyers.
