Burmese Python Burst After Eating an Alligator
Sunday, March 30, 2008
A 13-foot Burmese python burst after eating an alligator almost equal to it's size. The dead animals was discovered by rangers at the Everglades National Park.
The remains of the two prodigious reptiles were discovered by surprised rangers in the Everglades National Park. The rangers say the find implies that non-native Burmese pythons might even challenge alligators' leading position in the food chain in the swamps. The python's remains were found with the victim's tail sticking out from its burst midsection. The head of the python was missing. The stomach of the python still surrounded the head, shoulders, and forelimbs of the alligator.Link
