Opinion column: A jaw-dropping video captured the moment a massive alligator devoured a huge Burmese python in Everglades National Park. Wildlife photographer Alison Joslyn recorded the thrilling encounter while on Shark Valley Trail, according to FOX 35. "What a thrill to come across an alligator eating a large invasive Burmese Python in Shark Valley as I was out riding my bike," she said. "As an amateur wildlife photographer, I knew immediately I was seeing something very special."
Burmese pythons, one of the largest snake species in the world, aren't native to Florida and have wreaked havoc on the state's ecosystems. There have even been instances where these massive reptiles have preyed upon alligators, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).
In the video, the alligator can be seen swallowing the python whole, its jaws closing around the snake with a satisfying crunch.
