Video Shows Alligator Nab Massive Python

A crowd of tourists in the Florida Everglades watched in amazement as a large alligator swam beneath an observation tower with a possibly record-breaking Burmese python in its mouth.

According to Naples Daily News, the video was shot on Thanksgiving Day in Everglades National Park from the observation tower at Shark Valley by tour guide Kelly Alvarez. It shows the alligator, nicknamed "Godzilla," swimming along the surface of the water while dragging the snake along.

Even though the snake was partially eaten, it could possibly be a record breaker for the park.

"The record for longest python found in the Florida Everglades is 19 feet," Alvarez told Fox Weather. "Given that this alligator is minimum 10 feet, though I estimate him to be more around 12 feet, this python being twice his size is now quite possibly the longest Burmese python ever found in Everglades National Park."

The invasive Burmese pythons, originating from southeast Asia, have established across more than a thousand square miles of South Florida, including Everglades National Park, Big Cypress National Preserve, and Collier-Seminole State Park.

They have few predators and have wreaked havoc on the ecosystem, contributing to the decline of many native species such as bobcats, foxes, raccoons, opossums, and others.
