He Ate The Whole Thing

A Burmese python was caught in the Everglades, they are not native to Florida, after having recently eaten. The bulging snake was most likely a pet released from captivity by an irresponsible pet owner. It was doing quite well fending for itself, considering the bulge was a 76 pound deer.

Wow, what a monster! It could swallow a small child, letting them loose should have a stiff penalty.

@KDP: Most likely it was hatched in the wild. These snakes have really upset the balance of the ecosystem for decades now. There's even an old story about a gator and a python killing each other in a life & death struggle.

Here's the link to one such story. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9600151/ns/technology_and_science-science/t/gator-guzzling-python-comes-messy-end/#.TrQDxkNFunA

That is gross! Must have been one hell of a battle.

You know, at least most people have sense enough to be afraid of pit bulls.
