MIAMI, Aug. 19 (UPI) -- An alligator in south Florida was photographed making a meal of an unusual prey -- a massive Burmese python.
The South Florida Water Management District tweeted a photo Thursday snapped by staff in western Miami-Dade County.

The picture shows an alligator swimming away with the Burmese python in its jaws after apparently winning a battle with the rival predator.
Burmese pythons, native to Asia, are considered a nuisance species in Florida and have no natural predators in the area.
