Impressive and scary! Species like the Python are taking over. Our indigenous species are not prepared to defend themselves against such super predators.
Wow, That is a scary image. How big was that python? Are they not natural there? Is it an Anaconda, or something? I'll pass that link to a friend of mine who is a snake enthusiast. We get big Crocodiles in the Northern Territory and northern Queensland. But we don't have pythons big enough to eat those guys.
If you didn't already, click the phrase "python vs. alligator" and it goes to story by National Geographic. The phrases "Everglades" and "Ten Thousand Islands" are also links to sites about those parks.
Denis passed the link on, and i had to have a look. We, in Australia, have had problems with non native snakes being imported and released. One farmer had been tracking a snake that had been eating his sheep. I have been assured that the reptile, Id'd by a colleague with a little more knowledge than myself, was an anaconda. In Australia it is illegal to own non native species. Seems even the threat of heafty fines is not enough to stop this ecologically unsafe ownership problem.
The species in my article is a Burmese Python. The theory is that he ate a sick alligator that was to weak to defend himself. The snake was then attack afterwards by another alligator, while resting; however got away to face his fate in water.
A loose Anaconda is not a good thing!
I saw a special on the Discovery channel where a large Python was eating sheep in a village in India. They caught the nearly 17' snake and released him elsewhere. Amazing!
