I would pay to see that.

"He said that there had been four known encounters between the two species in the past. In the other cases, the alligator won or the battle was an apparent draw."

How did the snake kill the gator? Harsh language?

"The python who swallowed a croc
Was quite overcome with the shock
When its sharp teeth and claws
Tried making new doors
In the snake who then burst with a pop"

I have several picutes from one of the earlier encounters. The gal I was going out with last year was catching those pythons and disecting them to see what they were eating. She found a fight between snake and gator on the way in to work one morning, and sent me several pictures.

She and I went out snake hunting one evening. Found several, but no pythons. Now she's training a beagle to track the snakes. She keeps it on a short leash, or course, since a gator would love a beagle. So would a python, probably.

Uh.....no, she looks MUCH better than that. However, we did go tackle some gators a few years ago. A VERY entertaining days work, I'd have to say.

It was her way of saving face.

The day before, a gator had almost taken her face off when her guards got tired, so she invited me along. We got to fight a gator together. It would take me a few years to get bored with a job like that.

By the way, I sent her the link from the first post. She replied that it was funny I sent her that, because she had just gotten off the phone after turning down a request for an interview from the BBC. She said the news has gone around the world by now.
