Crikey – Python dies trying to eat Alligator!

This was just on the TV news and Google brinks up loads of links so it’s true. A 4 metre (12 foot) long python has died trying to eat a 2 metre (6 foot) long alligator in the Everglades. The Alligator killed the snake by ripping its stomach open from the inside. Both died!

here’s one of the links with the photo.

Theres been reports of panthers around my area, apparently someone used to keep them on his estate but when he died/couldn’t afford to keep them, something like that, they were reportedly released into the wild. Called the Peckleton Panther or something like that

There’s been reports of a “panther-like creature” roaming around Fife recently – and that’s only across the Forth Road Bridge from me!

I wanna go find it and take it home! 😀

I don’t know how….for all we know ther could be Pirahnas under our feet in the sewer grates, black panthers living wild in the hills of England, and Great White sharks under our feet on the piers of the bays of the world….the whole place has gone to hell in a handbasket since David Lee Roth left Van Halen…

They reckon there’s like 150 pythons loose in the everglades as a result of folks not being able to raise them at home and setting them free….but then they get into the ecosystem and cause havoc there, a system they were not designed to be a part of…..experts reckon some of them die by alligators and other causes….and other times, they have more luck and survive…and then you have THIS…where they both die…

How do they now its 150 not 200 or even 100.So that means in Brittan there could be millions of goldfish in our sewers. 😀

That’s why you should never eat a croc/gator whole and live, boys and girls.

Yes it’s true… always chew your food 72 times before swallowing.

Yes, it isn’t easy. The TV news report had several other photos from better angles but I couldn’t find them on the web.

Hard to work out which end is where the snakes head was and which bit is actually the alligator

Oh grief! I knew after yesterday I shouldn’t have looked at this thread again!

Mind you, what gets me is that the python’s head was missing, too. I suppose it could have been post-mortem?

Yes, possibly suffocated.

I guess having its body crushed didn’t help too much either 😮

I should think the gator probably drowned. Not sure though.

Or suffocated?
