Python hunting

FORT MEADE, FL — A Florida man's hand and foot were found in the stomach of an alligator that was removed from a canal Thursday along with the 45-year-old man's body, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.

"When he was found by a Mosaic employee, a large alligator had a part of Ford’s body in his mouth," Horstman explained. "When first responders arrived on scene, the gator had disengaged."

Now that a human has been shot in one resident’s quest to get rid of iguanas, the FWC is being more explicit, however. “If you are not capable of safely removing iguanas from your property, please seek assistance from professionals who do this for a living,” said FWC commissioner Rodney Barreto in the most recent statement.

Considered the heaviest of the constrictors, green anacondas (Eunectes murinus) are like Burmese pythons and other constrictors in that they'll eat almost anything.
"The list of potential prey items of an anaconda is extensive and varied, and consists of birds, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and fish," a United States Geological Survey, or USGS, website reads. "Small individuals may climb trees to raid bird nests. The green anaconda swallows its prey whole, even prey much larger than the diameter of their mouths. They are known to consume large prey such as peccaries, capybaras, tapirs, deer, and sheep."
