Who's Tougher? - The Possum Or The Python?

[Aussie Pete]

BEFORE:

A python and a possum have fought a battle to the death in a suburban back yard.

Who won? - Actually it was a 'no contest'. In the end, the snake left the suburban backyard just a little bit heavier.

A 16-foot python swallows a pet dog whole in Kuranda, Australia.

BRISBANE, Australia — A 16-foot python stalked a family dog for days before swallowing the pet whole in front of horrified children in the Australian tropics, animal experts said Wednesday.

The boy and girl, aged 5 and 7, watched as the scrub python devoured their silky terrier-Chihuahua crossbreed Monday at their home near Kuranda in Queensland state. Stuart Douglas, owner of the Australian Venom Zoo in Kuranda, said scrub pythons typically eat wild animals such as wallabies, a smaller relative of the kangaroo, but sometimes turn to pets in urban areas.

It's real lah... There were several write ups on it. You can do a search.

Basically the Everglade crocs are fighting back against the FT pythons. 2 apex predators fighting to survive -- great show!
