QUOTE(Intro)

Scientists report that alligators might not be as effective as hoped for in controlling the burmese python population in the Florida Everglades. A six foot alligator was found with its rear half hanging out of the belly of a 13-foot python last week. Because of injuries on the alligator's body, Frank Mazotti, a University of Florida wildlife professor, believes that the gator was injured but alive when the python attacked.

Here's a nice picture depicting the incident:

Well, if all the pythons eat alligators and pop, then it does solve the solution.

But the populations aren't anywhere close to a 1:1 ratio.

If it can eat a whole alligator then it can eat any other native flordian. Be afraid, be very afraid.

I'm sure they could just always import him. Anyways, I find that pretty scary, alligator getting owned by a python.

Now we have to introduce a new predator. Maybe some sort of oversized bird...

Genetically engineered giant cranes are the anwser, but what is the question?

The question is "What do we kill Pythons with?"

Report, edit, etc...Posted by LegacyWeapon on 2005-10-06 at 16:03:14

Pythons are invincible. They will adapt to any circumstance

Soon they'll have to hire python hunters.

Lmao, that's pretty funny.

If there was a war between pythons and python hunters, which side would u be on?
Id be on the pythons side. They did nothing wrong.
Back on topic, I always though pythons were nice

I heard about this from some girl In my biology class. (Shes pretty fat...) Anyway, I guess its true, and fed up while your at it. Why would a freaking python even atmept to eat a alligator?

I say we keep adding new predators until we have to release giant nuclear radiated monsters that destroy the world.

I wonder if the snake thought "golly, this'll make me famous!" as he swallowed the croc. This story has been everywhere for the last couple of days. I'll care when a python swallows Jill Henessy. I shall shed a tear then.

No one is asking you to give sympathy for this poor alligator. We simply ask you to recogonize him as a tribute to the world of science.

Woahhhh, I always wondered what a Aligator could do to a Python and vise versa.

And you know whats even more weird? Hippos are now classified as meat eaters they eat meat O.O i was watching national Geographic

I heard somewhere that hippos kill more people per year than sharks! They look so cute, especially in Fantasia, but looks can be deceiving!
