A python's eyes were apparently bigger than its stomach.
Scientists in Florida are puzzling over a Burmese python that scarfed down a six-foot alligator before its stomach ruptured.
They found the carcasses in an isolated part of Florida's Everglades National Park. Photos show the gator's hind legs and tail sticking out of the 13-foot snake's ruptured gut.
The Miami Herald reported that scientists can't figure out how the snake got the critter down. The snake's head is also missing.
Experts say the clash is interesting, but it also shows the exotic snakes are competing with gators to top the food chain in the Everglades.
Park biologist Skip Snow said he's documented 156 python captures in the last two years.
The funny bit is that you cant tell where the madness ends or where the madness begins! Its like natures chinese finger puzzle exploded!
lol, this is priceless
My day just got slightly happier....
The picture itself receives my WTF award for the day.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why gluttony is one of the seven deadly sins. IT KILLS.
I'd be dang if I wasn't disturbed slightly.

Just how big was that python?
WTF?
OUCH ><
my parents showed me that picture in the times newspaper, while i was eating my dinner. (nice timing, mum! ;.; )
i just can't get how the snake managed to swallow so much of it to begin with. and what happened it's head? oO; crazy.
Some snakes can swallow things much bigger than themselves...like the Giant Anaconda for instance...their jaw dislocates so they can swallow things whole. I've never heard of one trying anything bigger than it can handle though!

YOUR PYTHON ASPLODE
Showed HIM.
Sad... yet hilarious. Anyone see the headline (I think it was in a nation-wide paper) that read "Python swallows crocodile, explodes"? I loved that
I got a Ball python, and it died the first day I got it. But, no, it did not explode...
