Fluffy was a record holder after being raised by python breeder Bob Clark from a hatching. She measured 24 feet and weighed in at 300 pounds. She died Tuesday at the Columbus Zoo in Ohio of what appeared to be a mass on her ovaries.
Fluffy came to the Columbus Zoo as a temporary addition, but the Zoo actually ended up buying her from Bob for the whopping price of $35,000 in 2008. She was a crowd favorite and had an amazingly mellow disposition, which helped gain her fans.
Fluffy will be cremated and the words of Carrie Pratt, Assistant Curator at the Zoo, to the Columbus Dispatch ring true.
"To us and probably a lot of our guests, she really is an irreplaceable animal,"While Ohio folks think of the Zoo and Fluffy, we folks here think of Fluffy with Bob. After the bump a few images and videos of Fluffy and Bob.
