Clash of the giants

The remains of both, found by US rangers.
A 13 foot Burmese python clashed with a 6 foot alligator in the Florida Everglades.

The remains of both were found by astonished rangers.

It would appear the python managed to get a good grip, then swallowed the gator whole.

It was speculated that the gator still alive in the serpents belly, clawed it open, before dying.

Burmese pythons have been released by owners in Fl in the past 20 or so years, and the Everglades are ideal conditions for it.
For the first time in evolution in the everglades, the gator has an equally matched rival in the food chain. :shock:

That's right Norge.

"snake skin and alligator hide
Make a pair of jump boots just the right size
Shine 'em up, lace 'em up, put 'em on your feet
A good pair of jump boots can't be beat!"

Jumpboots?

Together with a 1972 chevy, with larger wheels, rusty rollbars and an upright chrome exhaust playing the dixie song at volume 25 :mrgreen:
Sure, someone may one day kill me with my own gun.
But they'll have to beat me to death with it because it's empty.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
