Line 6:

The incident was part of a "[[python epidemic]]" in which pet owners released their pythons throughout [[Florida]], in belief that they would not cause trouble. At least 93 pythons were captured, not including the one involved in this incident. This "python epidemic" continues presently.

Above all nonsense!

Scientists from National Geographic investigated the incident (read on National Geographic in detail). The Python killed the gator and after lunch it could not move anymore, when attacked by another gator. The python's head was crushed by the gator and found in the water.

There are reported and photographed accidents where large pythons and anacondas ate sheep, humans, crocodiles and even a young hippo.
