Mmmmm.... Alligator... Tastes like chicken.
Fight to the death
The carcass of a 6-foot American alligator is shown protruding from the mid-section of a 13-foot Burmese python on Monday, Sept. 26, in Everglades National Park after the snake apparently tried to swallow the gator whole and literally exploded -- killing both animals. ``Encounters like that are almost never seen in the wild. ... And we here are, it's happened for the fourth time,'' said Frank Mazzotti, a University of Florida wildlife professor. In the other cases, the alligator won or the battle was an apparent draw.

Scarey, sorta glad I don't live in the Everglades.
