Well, this “news” isn’t exactly entertaining, but it sure is amazing.
An unusual clash between a 6-foot (1.8m) alligator and a 13-foot (3.9m) python has left two of the deadliest predators dead in Florida’s swamps.
The Burmese python tried to swallow its fearsome rival whole but then exploded.The remains of the two giant reptiles were found by astonished rangers in the Everglades National Park.
The rangers say the find suggests that non-native Burmese pythons might even challenge alligators’ leading position in the food chain in the swamps.
The python’s remains with the victim’s tail protruding from its burst midsection were found last week. The head of the python was missing.
Ouch. And Grace thought her headaches and stomach cramps were bad. 😉 It’s a bit tricky to identify where the python’s body ends and alligator’s body begins at first glance. But it’s clear the alligator’s hind legs were tangling inside “something”. Yuck.
