Aggressive pet python escapes, killing 2 cats before being captured
http://m.cbs12.com/article?id=11251464
This is the worst example of news reporting I have seen in a long time. The snake doesn't act aggressive at all; he's pretty chill.
That's not even a Burmese python either. Someone needs to tell the mentally incapable news reporters that it is actually an albino tiger reticulated python. And for a retic, he seems like a gentle specimen.
Edit: Also found here: http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2013/oct/...0-foot-python/
Again, misidentified as a Burmese python. Pathetic.

I find plenty of these in my school's courtyard right after lunch. Why, I bet if the reporters camped at my school for a few days, they'll find lots of snacks littered on the ground to make a news story for!

Send these reporters to the Philippines and see how many retics they can find ambushing the neighborhood chickens! Oh yeah, they'd probably pass out from the mind-blow of 1.) having neighborhood chickens, 2.) having neighborhood retics, 3.) finding out the retics hide from you but the roosters will beat the crap out of you.
Lol.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

On a side note, you also forgot to mention their flying capabilities...
