You have to see this! Alligator drags massive python through water

A WILD SIGHT TO SEE — An alligator dragging a massive python through water isn’t something you see every day but a recent encounter of the two was caught on camera and recently shared online.
The footage went viral in December but continues to circulate on social media. The video was filmed by Kelly Alvarez from the Shark Valley Observation Tower at the Florida’s Everglades National Park.
Video shows an alligator swimming with a huge Burmese python in its mouth. The snake is “dead, bloated and partially eaten.”
“It’s huge!” someone says in the video.
“That’s gnarly! This is so cool,” Alvarez is heard saying.
Alvarez, who is a tour guide in the Everglades, said she believed the alligator in the video was “one of the largest” seen in the national park, but the python was much longer.
“The record for longest python found in the Florida Everglades is 19 feet. Given that this alligator is minimum 10 feet, though I estimate him to be more around 12 feet, this python being twice his size is now quite possibly the longest Burmese python ever found in Everglades National Park,” Alvarez stated.
Footage shows the alligator slowly makes its way through the water and eventually it goes out of sight as the video comes to an end.
“You know it’s something serious when it’s something we (tour guides) haven’t seen before,” a man says.
Another woman named it the “Best tour ever.”
