from the documentary I saw it stated that it was real, what happen was that the snake (anaconda) swallow the alligator, which is known to happen. And the claws ripped him up from the inside.
The photo looks like that because the anaconda had been dead on the water for long and it had bloated causing the carcass to burst like a ballon

well yeah, I agree. But I think the posters who are complaining about people releasing snakes into the wild, are referring to the snakes that are not native/natural to the area. The solution would be to not buy these wild animals in the first place, or if you didn't want to keep it anymore, relinquish it to the appropriate authorities instead of releasing it into the neighborhood bushes/lake. But, that would be too responsible.
A week or so ago, I headed out to the airport to observe aircraft arriving and departing. On the perimeter road of KPBI near the cargo terminal, crossing the street taking his/her sweet time, was a two foot long iguana.

That's a big difference IMO. They may be a nuisance, but they're not out there killing the indigenous wildlife. Feral cats can have a huge impact on small species because they love to have sex and are great at killing things.

This applies to cats, too, but they're fuzzy and cute so maybe it doesn't.

I guess we are having a huge impact on small species as well!!! I dont know about ya'll, but that bt about feral cats kinda sounds familiar.
