But in the Florida Everglades, alligators are scared of pythons. Dramatic new video shows a man rescuing an alligator that is being attacked by a python in the brush of the Everglades.

The giant coastal carpet python was filmed hanging from a veranda roof with the body of a brushtail possum in its mouth.

The video captures one apex predator eating another in a Florida Everglades swamp.

WBBH’s Julianne Dell reports. A python was seen wrapped around an alligator --with its head in its mouth -- on a golf course in Florida on Friday.
