An beginner wildlife photographer captured a “score one for the home team” when an alligator was noticed consuming a big Burmese Python within the Everglades.
The footage, posted on Facebook, showcases the predator-prey interplay between the gator and the comparably sized snake.
“What a thrill to come across an alligator eating a large invasive Burmese Python in Shark Valley as I was out riding my bike. As an amateur wildlife photographer, I knew immediately I was seeing something very special,” Joslyn instructed Storyful, recounting the fascinating second.
“I thought both might be dead until the gator opened an eye to look at me! Phew! Score one for the home team!,” she added. Credit: Alison Joslyn by way of Storyful
