A python's last big meal was a doozy. Look what scientists found when they opened him up.
You might not believe what scientists in Florida found when they opened him up.
The scientists at a Florida lab could feel something big inside the dead 18-foot Burmese python, so they cut it open. A necropsy, it's called. "I actually thought it was pretty gross too and I'm used to necropsies and things," said scientist Rosie Moore.A look at what was on the python's menu, was a 5-foot dead but still fairly intact alligator.
"Oh my gosh. We were taking breaks running outside trying to get some fresh air. I've never smelled anything like that," Moore said when asked if it had a terrible smell.Florida encourages people to kill Burmese pythons because they eat so many other species and reproduce rapidly.ALSO SEE: Record-breaking python caught in Florida measured in at 17.7 feet, 215 poundsAnd the photos of the scientist looking like a Bond girl in a bikini probably didn't hurt viewership.
A turducken is a turkey stuffed with duck and chicken. So maybe, we'll just call this a "py-gator-thon." Not that it's making anyone hungry.
