 Python Bursts After Trying to Eat Gator By DENISE KALETTE, Associated Press Writer Wed Oct 5, 4:04 PM ET A 13-foot Burmese python recently burst after it apparently tried to swallow a live, six-foot alligator whole, authorities said. The incident has heightened biologists' fears that the nonnative snakes could threaten a host of other animal species in the Everglades. "It means nothing in the Everglades is safe from pythons, a top-down predator," said Frank Mazzotti, a University of Florida wildlife professor. Over the years, many pythons have been abandoned in the Everglades by pet owners. The gory evidence of the latest gator-python encounter � the fourth documented in the past three years � was discovered and photographed last week by a helicopter pilot and wildlife researcher. The snake was found with the gator's hindquarters protruding from its midsection. Mazzotti said the alligator may have clawed at the python's stomach as the snake tried to digest it. In previous incidents, the alligator won or the battle was an apparent draw. "There had been some hope that alligators can control Burmese pythons," Mazzotti said. "This indicates to me it's going to be an even draw. Sometimes alligators are going to win and sometimes the python will win." It is unknown how many pythons are competing with the thousands of alligators in the Everglades, but at least 150 have been captured in the past two years, said Joe Wasilewski, a wildlife biologist and crocodile tracker. Pythons could threaten many smaller species that conservationists are trying to protect, including other reptiles, otters, squirrels, woodstorks and sparrows, Mazzotti said. Wasilewski said a 10- or 20-foot python also could pose a risk to an unwary human, especially a child. He added, however, "I don't think this is an imminent threat. This is not a `Be afraid, be very afraid' situation.'" |
annnnnnnnd fucked lol
That is so fucking awesome my mind hurts
That's pretty cool but really gorey
when my sisters and i went to the everglades this spring, a ranger told us a story about how they came across a python eating an alligator..and while it was digesting it (half sticking out its mouth) another alligator came along as started eating the python and the python couldn't do anything. for 3 days the alligator ate away at this python..while the python continued to swallow the first alligator. In the end alligator # 2 ate the python and the eaten alligator.
so cool
oh and a car driving thru alligator alley (road the runs thru the everglades, east to west) hit a boa (again not native to the everglades) and its belly split open and it was filled with baby boas
the everglades are amazing..i'd post more pics..but no time

Imagine what was going through the minds of the animals during this process!!...
Python: whoa I may have been really hungry a minute ago, but this gator is giving me some serious heartburn & indigestion.... anybody got some pepto?? maalox??
Gator: This is absolutely the most uncomfortable and embarrassing position I could get myself into. Maybe if I claw at his stomach I'll tear him in half and get out, before I soffucate.
Oh man, that's incredible.
WHOA.
i fuckin hate snakes
