    Burmese Python vs Gator

    If you all remember those pictures and the big deal that was made awhile back over a non-native species, Burmese Python that took down a Florida gator (and unforunately died in the process). Anyways, there's a National Geographic special investigating it on right now (Saturday 7 p.m.). It repeats at 10 p.m. tonight as well as at 1 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

    Ya I saw the last 20 minutes. Pretty interesting. Who beleives what they concluded happened.
    SPOILER if you havent seen the show don't read this part. SPOILER!








    I think that what they said about how another crocadile came up and bit the python is probably want happened. That or something similar. Anyone else beleive or not beleive this?

    Yea the size of the item wasn't really big enough in my mind to cause a complete body rupture like that. I probably got hit by a boat or got chomped by another gator.

    WHAT CHANNEL?? I wanna seeeeee! Go SNAKES! WOO!

    No offense to the gators... But I think snakes are the underdogs.
    Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

    Why is it called 'after dark' when it really is 'after light'?

    Check the website for National Geographic and you should be able to look up their shows and when they are airing. You can register and have emails sent to you ahead of time for any particular show that you don't want to miss.
