18 foot Burmese python eats a 5 foot alligator in the Florida everglades

A geoscientist and bikini model has shared disgusting footage of the moment a five foot alligator was removed from an 18ft Burmese python.

Rosie Moore, 26, and a team of scientists were seen slowly pulling the still intact gator from the monster snake's stomach at their lab in Florida.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, she said it underscores the huge problem of invasive pythons in the Everglades, which usually prey on mammals and small reptiles.

She said they were able to perform research on the creature because it had been euthanized after being caught by field workers, which is required on sight in the state of Florida due to the predation.

'They called us and they said there was a large object in it, we thought it was either a deer or an alligator.'

When the gator was found during a necropsy of the python, Moore said: 'It's definitely shocking, it was my first time ever seeing an event like that, I've never seen a python with something like that in it.'

The Instagram post was 'for fun' but she was 'really surprised it went that viral. It honestly surprised me how little people knew about the invasive pythons in Florida and their impacts on our native populations down there.'

Moore, who specializes in spatial technology and human environmental interactions, says that it's going to be a difficult problem to solve.

She said that knowledge of the problem has grown due to 'a variety of things. It could just be more reporting, social media, but also the Burmese population has increased sizably.'

The pythons reproduce quickly and are able to camouflage in their surroundings, which means according to Moore: 'It's impossible for anybody to really know where they're at or how many are out there.'

Moore also works on the side as a model, which she got into 2-3 years ago on freelance during the weekends and free nights through friends. Her page now has over 16,000 followers.

She said it's important to break the stereotype of women working in geosciences, where females make up just about 30 percent of those working.

'In media, female scientists are often portrayed as the shy, dorky characters. I think it's important for young women to see that is not the case, and that being a scientist can actually be a cool thing to aspire to be,' Moore said.

She added: 'In that sense, I think I do a decent job of showing off both sides of my life and maintaining my feminine qualities while still being able to put my field gear on and go out and get dirty for some data collection.'

Given the complex problem, there aren't a lot of simple solutions to preventing predation from Burmese pythons, with Moore joking that some people suggested to her on Instagram that 'we throw jaguars into the Everglades to hunt them.'

Indeed, as Moore wrote on Instagram: 'Due to the the subtropical environment of South Florida, paired with the Burmese pythons long life span and rapid reproduction, these snakes have successfully invaded ecologically sensitive areas such as Everglades National Park.

While Florida is trying to get rid of the snakes, they're still protected by state anti-cruelty laws, so hunters must be able to prove they've dispatched the animals humanely.

'This poses a threat to a variety of wildlife, due to the pythons wide dietary preferences.'

Moore's advice is a warning to pet owners: 'If you get an animal or reptile that you won't be able to take care of for your whole life, you probably shouldn't get it and if you do and can't take care of it, you should re-home it.'

A Very Victorian Two-Penny Hangover

During the Great Depreciation in London, people who couldn’t afford to sleep in a bad could pay twopence for a spot on a bench with a clothesline tied in front of them, so they could sleep while hanging over a rope . The term ‘hangover’ is universally understood to mean the disproportionate suffering that comes after a night of over-indulgence. But where does the term actually come from? One possible explanation is, somewhat strangely, Victorian England. During the Victorian era the practice of paying for a ‘two-penny hangover’ was incredibly popular among the country’s homeless population and the term ‘two penny hangover’ was so commonly used that it made its way into contemporary literature. A two-penny hangover is not the description of a very cheap night out, nor is it the amount it would cost you to get drunk in Victorian England. It is actually somewhere you could go to sleep if you were one of the thousands of homeless and destitute living in the country’s main cities at the tim...

Could Ancient Peruvians Really Know How To Melt Stone Blocks?

Could Ancient Peruvians Really Know How To Melt Stone Blocks? The idea of a plant material melting stone looks implausible, the theory and science are gaining traction. Why couldn’t the ancient Peruvians cut a stone to look like this if a Spanish artist could do it today?

The tragic story of Moors Murders victim, Keith Bennett Notorious child serial killer Myra Hindley smiles over what is believed to be the grave of Keith Bennett, 12, who was snatched off the street and murdered by Hindley and her accomplice Ian Brady. The above photo was taken by Brady on Saddleworth Moor, England, in 1964. In partnership with Brady, Hindley committed the rapes and murders of five small children. Hindley's 17-year-old brother-in-law tipped off the police about her crimes. Hindley plead not guilty to all of the murders. She was found guilty of three murders and was jailed for life.
