More Cool Stuff from Nature
Did you hear the one about
the python and the alligator? If not, I recommend following the link. Because after all, it's not every day you see a picture captioned, "The snake tried to swallow the alligator whole and then exploded."
There is a moral to this story, though. (There usually is.) Burmese pythons are not supposed to live in the Florida Everglades...which means that some bonehead bought one, probably illegally, then realized that it's not really such a good idea to have a Burmese python as a pet, and so dumped it in a swamp somewhere.
As Bill Maher would say, new rule: If you buy a man-eating animal because you think it's really cool, you must live with the consequences.
