It's not just U of F.

This is the game these guys play. They say stuff but then blame the media for misquoting them. But they never seem to try to correct the misquoting. I know if I were misquoted that badly I'd be contacting my lawyer, or at least demanding a retraction.

A snippet from the above article:

---------------
Gibbons said a human is "just another prey item" to a python - especially a small human. Pythons are constrictor snakes and have been known to eat people in their native areas of Southeast Asia, he added.

"A 20-foot python, if it grabbed one of us, would bite us and then within just - instantly - seconds, it would be wrapped all the way around you and squeezing the life out of you," Gibbons said.
