A Burmese python has engaged a giant alligator in a brutal fight for territorial superiority in Florida, USA.
The alligator and python face each other in a brutal fight
A python and an alligator have engage each other in a brutally fight with the snake gaining the upper-hand. The fight was captured on tape by wild life expert, Heiko Kiera.
According to Kiera, Burmese pythons have an established permanent breeding population in South Florida and belong to the "new" apex predators of the Everglades today. Top predators like the american crocodiles and american alligators prey regularly on all kinds of reptiles, including pythons. An adult alligator will have little trouble to overpower, kill and eat any juvenile and in some cases even an adult constrictor.
Nevertheless, a fully grown Burmese Python can reach over twenty feet in length and becomes extremely dangerous prey item for most crocodilians including the American Alligator.
These large constrictors have not much to fear and will feed on most animals they come across (including alligators) when hungry.
The epic fight ended with the snake winning the battle as the alligator was forced to retreat.
