Got an e-mail today, originally sent by someone in the Florida Parks Service.

~7 ft alligator vs ~8 ft Burmese python "interaction" at Everglades National Park, just north of the Main Park Road about 1mi to the west of our Main Entrance Station.



one of the responses: Adds a new dimension to wade fishing!

I asked my boss about it, he says it's actually a growing problem. Evidently pythons are taking to the everglades quite easily (people release them, they breed, yadda yadda yadda, you're attacked by a python).

Alligator is less than python? You must be a product of the public school system.
