Gator, python tangle on Florida golf course

Alligator sightings on golf courses in Florida and other Southern states happen virtually every day, but this was something else.

Golfers at Fiddler’s Creek Golf Club in Naples, Fla., recently came upon an alligator wrapped up by a Burmese python midway through their round.

One of the golfers, Richard Nadler, posted this on Facebook, along with the picture: “Wild” day on the 10th hole today! That’s an alligator and a Burmese python entwined. The alligator seems to have the upper hand.”

Later, Nadler told NBC 2: “There was no grappling going on—nothing. The python’s head was in the mouth of the alligator and the alligator was just sitting there absolutely still with his eyes wide open not moving. And he had all these people around him on these golf carts and people walking around taking photographs.”

Nadler said the gator and python were nowhere to be seen the next morning.
