In Florida’s ongoing alligator versus python battle for the top spot in the Everglades the food chain, sometimes you’re the predator, sometimes you’re the prey.
In this round, the alligator is the clear victor.
Rich Kruger was deep in the Everglades on the Shark Valley bike trail, according to DailyMail.com, when he captured remarkable video of a python estimated at ten feet in length, meeting his demise in the jaw of a gator.
Kruger told Fox News that “every day you go here, you see something new. It’s amazing.”
This video, with tens of thousands of views, is proof of that.
Although, it’s worth mentioning that there are plenty of other rounds in this nature battle (from all across the world), that turn out far less successfully for the gator.
