Viral Video Shows Alligator Inside Burmese Python in Florida
Imagine a giant snake, much like a very long, scaly worm, ate an alligator.
Scientists found this happened in Florida!
The snake, called a Burmese python, was about as long as a car, and it had swallowed an alligator that was still pretty big.
The snake was already dead when scientists looked inside.
It turns out, the snake had been eating the alligator, but not very successfully because the alligator was still mostly in one piece inside the snake.
The video of this has made lots of people online surprised!
An 18-foot Burmese python was found to contain a 5-foot alligator.
The incident occurred in Florida and was documented in a video.
The snake was euthanized due to being an invasive species.
The video of the necropsy has gone viral on social media.
The alligator was largely intact inside the python.
