Displacement distance and surge acceleration during January for snake P41, a Burmese python (Python bivittatus) in Everglades National Park, South Florida, USA. During this period, the individual had high activity levels and displayed most of its movement during the day. This period included a 58-h transiting bout (Jan. 20th–22nd; red box) as well as two periods of rapid displacement at a rate of 2.4 km/day (Jan. 19th–20th and Feb. 1st–3rd; blue boxes) during which the snake was likely in an aquatic environment based on habitat from its inferred movement path and the lack of GPS fixes (indicated by red dots) during transiting. Gray shaded bars indicate nighttime hours
