i highly doubt the burmese python exploded because of that gator. i think some people didn't realize that the head of that burmese python was missing as well...in addition to that big puncture wound where the gator was hanging out of. did that missing head just blow up too?

i think another big ol gator came along and chomped down on that snake.

man will rule the everglades in ten years more so than he does now.
NatGeo did a special on this a couple years back. It was determined that after the Burm ate the Gator, another Gator came along and bit the head off the snake. Then the natural process of decomp caused the snakes bellly to rupture and expose the Gator inside.
