In the Everglades National Wildlife Park in the United States, the American crocodile has always been the top predator here. With their huge mouths and sharp claws, plus the hardest natural armor, they have every reason to look down on all animals here.

The python, with four rows of independently mobile sharp teeth and a massive body composed of 100,000 muscles, also ranks at the top of the food chain.

Pythons are mainly distributed in South America, Asia, and Africa, and there are no pythons in the United States. However, one day, the park managers were surprised to find an 8-meter-long, 90-kilogram python that had swallowed a 5-meter-long, 250-kilogram crocodile. More surprisingly, the python was burst open by the crocodile and died, and the crocodile eventually died on the scene as well.

Why did these two top predators from different regions meet in the Everglades? And why did they both end up dead? What exactly happened when these two powerful creatures met?
