Rare video shows a hungry Florida bobcat raiding the unguarded nest of an invasive Burmese python for eggs and a battle that followed in the thick of Big Cypress National Preserve in the Florida Everglades.

Your right Eric Smith, the thing is they don't want rid of them, there is too much money to be made off them. skins, meat, hunting permits, i don't see why they go out and catch them and put it to sleep then cut it open to see what it ate, while you could be out in the bush blowing them away with a pump shotgun, leave it laying then go look for the next one.

Footage seemed to suggest that the Bobcat anticipated the snake once the cat discovered the eggs; he hung out for almost 2 days and constantly surveyed the area (especially that hole in the undergrowth next to the nest). The Bobcat invited the confrontation with an enemy threat and attacked the snake. The fact that cat covered the eggs at one point may indicate that he marked the spot or relieved himself on the nest. He wanted to leave his "in-your-face" calling card. : )

@@bndrillayaboyshere5575 You don't know how cats kill snakes. They simply batter them and pester them until they are exhausted. Snakes are cold blooded reptiles, they simply have no cardio. A cat can wear down a snake just by making the snake defend itself for like 5 to 10 minutes or so. After that, the snake can barely move. Bobcats didn't really evolve to kill large snakes but they are smart animals and this type of behavior is fairly natural for them. Granted, a bigger python would be too much but this snake is not particularly massive. I stand by my statement.

@@Elthenar look it doesn't matter which cat it is and btw for example a green reticulated python this so called "technique" is not about being fast a snake could easily kill and snatch and cat and btw snakes are ambush hunters and are good in stealth the only scenerio a cat can kill a snake is when a snake it's a baby or just small. pyhons been known to kill alligators and jaguars. so a cat whouldn't be a worthy opponent so the thing is that doesn't work on pythons especielly burmese and if u think jumping back and fourth will help a cat no it wont a python will also move during the attack like going forward and attacking the cat and killing it with it's overwhelming crushing force and if u haven't noticed it heres an example have faster bites than a cats reaction. for example a snake relies on it's speed to catch prey like cats so that's what ur assuming that a cat reaction is faster. and if remember if a cat so called "tires out the snake" which in any sceneario won't happen the snake will protect it head and fight back so a pythons stragety is to sneak up on a cat and bite it with it's ligthing fast bite and will quickly end the cat in a few moments so next time ur stupid confident brain is assuming something i'd reccomend u to get more information

Contrary to what you hear Pythons dont kill big cats as often as ppl try saying. Most encounters will have no winner w both walking away a bit tired but alive. Big cats can kill pythons easier than pythons can kill big cats. Most big cat deaths are young inexperienced cats. The bigger, older ones know their paws are a lethal problem for a snakes head. One good swipe and its over. The snake needs a perfect encounter where it latches onto a shoulder or neck and can wind around but cats tend to be more nimble than gators so they are much harder to kill for a python.

Raiding a Burmese python's nest, invasive or not, just for the chance to score a motherload of "E" (short for "Ecstasy" - street slang for pressed pills of MDMA typically cut with "Speed" - street slang for Amphetamine) suggests that Bobcat urgently needs to find a Narcotics Anonymous meeting close by. Those "eggs" were actually giant capsules of hard hitting jet fuel, enough to keep a Bobcat firing on all cylinders for a couple nights in a row - as long as the House Music is thumping and they have a sitter for the kittens at home.

I thought the cat would eat the possum but I guess they’re just sharing eggs together

I find it interesting that she was off her nest for so long(or at least what seemed like so long, I don't know how much time actually passed), and then came back to sit on her clutch. I didn't think they did that. Also, I'm assuming the reason the haven't killed the python/eggs is because they are doing some sort of research? I hope they step in before the babies hatch and flee all over the place. Or maybe this is video from a private citizens trail camera?

it's not actually a video. This is most likely a game camera that takes a photo every time it senses movement. That's why it's seems like it's starting and stopping every couple of seconds. It snaps a photo when it detects motion. This video edit every photo together in a video kind of the same way an artist draws a flip book.
