Richard Nadler spotted the gator entwined with the large snake just outside the 10th hole at The Golf Club at Fiddler’s Creek. Both creatures were perfectly still, but it appeared the gator had the head of the snake in its mouth.
“The alligator seems to have the upper hand,” Nadler commented after sharing pictures of the hair-raising scene on Facebook.
Carolyn Maxim, who also came across the sight, agreed with Nadler’s prediction.
“It’s like a zoo here!!!!” Maxim posted on Facebook. “Looks like he got one of those big pythons.”
In comparison, female alligators in Florida typically measure below 10 feet in length, but males can grow much larger, the FWC reports. Gators are opportunistic feeders, hunting for prey that are easily accessible.
Wildlife officials said they can’t draw a conclusion from photos alone – but if they had to pick a side, they’d be “team alligator.”
“Which species is ultimately the prey or predator will vary from (sic) situation depending on a variety of factors including the overall size of each animal,” Brian Norris, public information officer with the FWC, told Fox News. “However we are encouraged by the prospect of a native Florida alligator consuming an invasive Burmese python.”
Burmese pythons are not native to Florida and pose a significant risk to native wildlife and the ecosystem, Norris explained.
“But both of these animals are large predators and the FWC recommends keeping a safe distance from either species,” Norris advised.
Too bad something like this couldn't happen at Mar-A-Lago involving one of the golfers. "Hey, why is that python strangling that giant cheeto? And why is that giant cheeto wearing a MAGA hat?".
Or remember that one at Disney World, where the alligator ate the kid?
If something like that could happen at a Trump resort you'd have something to bitch about that wouldn't rely on anonymous sources or your imagination.
