Google rules our lives – but for how much longer?

Alligator Seen Dragging Enormous Python Stuns Tour Guides in Florida's Everglades
Visitors to Florida’s Everglades National Park in late November were stunned to see an alligator swimming with its catch – a huge Burmese python that may be the largest ever found in the area.Video filmed by Kelly Alvarez from the Shark Valley Observation Tower shows the alligator with the dead, bloated, and partially eaten python in its maw.“That’s so gnarly, that’s so cool,” Alvarez says in the video.Alvarez, who is a tour guide in the Everglades, told Storyful she believed the alligator in the video was “one of the largest” seen in the national park, but the invasive python was much longer.“The record for longest python found in the Florida Everglades is 19 feet. Given that this alligator is minimum 10 feet, though I estimate him to be more around 12 feet, this python being twice his size is now quite possibly the longest Burmese python ever found in Everglades National Park,” Alvarez told Storyful.In the video, another tour guide can be heard saying, “You know it’s something serious when it’s something we [tour guides] haven’t seen before.” Credit: Kelly Alvarez via Storyful
