The answer is maybe. Fox news has an interesting story about pythons in the Everglades.

It turns out that the question is less than rhetorical and that a python attempted to consume an alligator. Unfortunately for the python, it exploded in the process.

My favourite quote goes to:

“Clearly, if they can kill an alligator they can kill other species,” Mazzotti said. “There had been some hope that alligators can control Burmese pythons. … This indicates to me it’s going to be an even draw. Sometimes alligators are going to win and sometimes the python will win.

It is starting to remind me of a recent film with the tagline:

Whoever wins… We lose.
