    Animal Planet...Kinda like the Fox News of legit natural world programming.

    I'm watching that 'Man-Eating Super Snake' show again. One of the main misleading sensationalisms they use is the fact that "Burmese and African Rock Pythons have been known to hybridize in captivity"...I'm surprised they left out that we call them Cateaters.

    Fox News doesn't deserve that insult.

    But I thought we called them Bateaters?

    My understanding is that bateaters are burm/retic hybrids

    So true! For having completely different subject matter, Fox and Animal Planet are incredibly similar!


    And yes, I believe a burm/retic is a Borneo bateater and a burm/afrock is a cateater.
