Great T-Shirts.



Back In The Saddle Again.


It's been a long, long lonely, lonely time. Lots of things going on....but I saw this, and had to share. I promise more later....possibly Saturday. On we go.....

Snake bursts after gobbling gator

An unusual clash between a 6-foot alligator and a 13-foot python has left two of the deadliest predators dead in Florida's swamps. The Burmese python tried to swallow its fearsome rival whole but then exploded. The remains of the two giant reptiles were found by astonished rangers in the Everglades National Park. The rangers say the find suggests that non-native Burmese pythons might even challenge alligators' leading position in the food chain in the swamps.The python's remains with the victim's tail protruding from its burst midsection were found last week. The head of the python was missing. "Encounters like that are almost never seen in the wild... And here we are," Frank Mazzotti, a University of Florida wildlife professor, was quoted as saying by the Associated Press news agency.
