It’s a python eats alligator world…
What happens if you have a 6-foot alligator fight a 13-foot python? Apparently, the fight ends with a draw as they both end up dead. Recently in the Everglades (Florida), rangers found the remains of this epic battle:
The Burmese python tried to swallow its fearsome rival whole but then exploded.

The python’s remains were found with the victim’s tail protruding from its burst midsection. The head of the python was missing.
The slightly disturbing picture can be found here.
Experts said that there have been four known similar encounters in the past; in these cases, the alligator either won or the battle was a draw:
The rangers say the find suggests that non-native Burmese pythons might even challenge alligators’ leading position in the food chain in the swamps.
Wow. Now I’m very scared of Florida.
