This has been all over the internet, so you might have seen it already. I've seen it on Double Viking, Gorillamask, and on Scott's blog. I'm still posting it here, though, because I want a record of it.


From The Miami Herald: Python Eats Alligator, Explodes In Orgy Of Blood and Scales. Local residents comment, "Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!" (Okay I made up the headline and the quote, but everything from here down is real)

"A giant exotic snake's fatal mistake of trying to swallow an alligator has provided scientists with strange new evidence that pythons are continuing to spread in the Everglades."

Here are two of the more terrifying quotes from the article:

"Pythons, likely abandoned by pet owners, have been seen in the Everglades since the 1980s. But in the past two years alone, Snow has documented 156 python captures, a surge that has convinced biologists the snakes are multiplying in the wild."

"The first observed encounter in the park occurred three years ago when awestruck onlookers at the popular Anhinga Trail boardwalk witnessed a tussle between a 10- to 15-foot snake and six- to nine-foot gator. That fight, which lasted an estimated 24 hours, ended in an apparent draw, with both swimming off and vanishing."


Uhm... do people not realize the implications of this!?! This is huge! a SNAKE ATE AN ALIGATOR!!! HELLO!?!!  


Apparently you and I are the only ones who are gonna be prepared when the snakes take over.

Don't say I didn't warn you guys.
