Python Bursts After Trying to Eat Gator

[i l l m a t i c]

A 13-foot Burmese python recently burst after it apparently tried to swallow a live, six-foot alligator whole, authorities said.

 

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.

Is there any higher quality photo of that out there?

 

I feel sorry for the snakes now. Even more so for this one than for the last one that got stuck on the electric fence.

I saw that pic in a local newspaper. Absolute coolness. Those snakes will just try and swallow anything, regardless of size.
