Everglades National Park, USA

A professional python hunter employed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Enrique Galan, captures a Burmese python in Florida. Galan may freeze in fear every time he spots a yellow grasshopper, but that doesn’t stop him from regularly disappearing into the Everglades to hunt Burmese pythons, an invasive species that has been destroying Florida’s wetlands ecosystem for decades Photo: Chandan Khanna/AFP/Getty Images
