Crocodile as well as various other kinds of reptiles. Recently FL
residents have been upsetting the fragile balance of the everglades
ecosystem, by releasing their pet pythons into the marshes.
The popular Burmese Pythons have become a popular pet in the
state of Florida. However, they grow pretty damn fast and many
owners are not able to deal with the reasonability that comes with
owning a 13 foot slithering, eating machine! Not only is it expensive
to feed such a creature, it's expensive to house! These snakes have
begun to really shake up the ecological balance of the FL everglades.
They have become so large that they are toping the food chain.
A very odd turn in the wild kingdom.
Below is a picture of a python which exploded after trying to ingest
an alligator! How strange is it to witness ecological turn like this?
Not hard to understand how some animals, once predators become prey!

Rad...awesome...interesting post...but don't you think that this change has always taken place with and without the help of man.
That's crazy! They can just explode? You'd think the python would have spit it out or something. I guess it's the classic case of biting off more than you can chew, lol.
