When it comes to a battle between an alligator and Burmese
Python, which would you pick as the top predator?
As it turned out in this case, witnessed by Steve Greene
from a bridge—and seen in his photo above—it was the alligator.
Greene reported the alligator and python incident to the
Everglades National Park Facebook page: “I saw this... as you are heading to
Royal Palm. The Gator was thrashing around which caught my attention. The gator
was moving fast and very determined to get under the bridge.”
The Burmese Python is an exotic and invasive species living
in the Everglades and I’m pretty certain the Everglades National Park was happy
to see the alligator winning this battle, since officials have been trying
everything to control the fast-growing population of Burmese Pythons in the
park.
But we must point out that the alligator doesn’t always win
this battle. The Everglades National Park says,
“sometimes it’s the reverse.”
