"Type A" Python Dies of Overambition
From the Associated Press:
A 13-foot Burmese python recently burst after it apparently tried to swallow a live, six-foot alligator whole, authorities said.
The snake was found with the gator's hindquarters protruding from its midsection. Mazzotti said the alligator may have clawed at the python's stomach as the snake tried to digest it.
Wasilewski said a 10- or 20-foot python also could pose a risk to an unwary human, especially a child. He added, however, "I don't think this is an imminent threat..."
See...I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree. If a 6ft predator at the top of the food chain can't survive a Python attack, I'm going to have to say that I wouldn't be up to the challenge either
....although my stomach-clawing skills are pretty sweet.
