A group of biologists discovered a snake with a deadwith an alligator inside in Everglades National Park. Scientists were studying invasive plant species when they came across a huge snake that is also invasive in Florida. Researchers quickly euthanized her in accordance with local wildlife regulations and sent her to the laboratory for an autopsy.

The swallowed alligator was so good.condition that “it seemed like he could just get up and walk out of the room,” the biology says. “The python began to digest the alligator, but for the most part it was completely intact,” the veterinarians added. The only visible damage the pathologists noticed was on the animal's scales.
Because Burmese pythons are invasivespecies and threaten native wildlife, people can humanely trap or kill them year-round in certain parts of south Florida. This does not require a hunting permit or license, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
