Pythons vs. Alligators: An Update
Posted on October 18th, 2005 in Uncategorized | No Comments »
Joe Scarborough talks with a snake expert about the vicious warring between pythons and alligators in the Everglades.
It’s kind of like the movie Underworld, which posited a long-running blood feud, heh-heh, between vampires and werewolves. (Expect Underworld II sometime next year.)
My favorite quote: “When the snake is bigger and can overpower the alligator, then the snake will win. But alligators have been known to win. And there have been ties.”
Ties? Does that mean there are rematches?
And my favorite fun fact: Python-alligator fights have reportedly lasted as long as 24 hours.
I have no idea how anyone could possibly know this, given that no one seems to have actually witnessed one of these marathon duels, but since I like the fact, I choose to accept it.
