The latest propaganda sensationalism is the notion that the Burmese will hybridize with the Rock python and create an even more fearsome threat.

Don’t they know there are South American crocodiles that have spread as north as temperatures will allow, which includes extreme south Florida. They really don’t belong here, but we call them “American” crocodiles since they do. They are a fifteen foot man eating top tier carnivore, but I haven’t heard anybody say they might hybridize with alligators and make a supersaurus crocogator. Seems like they could be a real threat to the diving industry in the Florida Keys and the beach loving tourists down here unless we make purses and shoes made of gator skin part of the Lacey Act. Seems those supersaurus crocogators would pose a real threat to all the native wildlife, maybe those South American crocs that manage to survive here should be killed just in case. Since the crocosaurus has had a few thousand year head start on the pythons, I would reconsider the python priority.
