posted: Non-native Burmese pythons are the likely cause of a staggering mammal decline in Florida's Everglades.
In PNAS journal, they report that observations of some mammal species have declined by more than 99%.
A team studied road surveys of mammals in the Everglades National Park before and after pythons became common.
Researchers found a strong link between the spread of pythons and drops in recorded sightings of racoons, rabbits, bobcats and other species.

posted: Wildlife researchers with the South Florida Natural Resources Center found the dead, headless python in October 2005 after it apparently tried to digest a 6-foot-long (2-meter-long) American alligator. The mostly intact dead gator was found sticking out of a hole in the midsection of the python, and wads of gator skin were found in the snake's gastrointestinal tract.

Figured it out. That picture is actually old. The python ate the gator then split open. That is the gator's leg and tail going to the right. Left and top is the split open python.

I'm a bit disturbed by the 4 meter long python that managed to kill the gator in the first place.
