Snake Attacks Dog
By Julie | March 6, 2008
It’s strange the things one discovers online while doing potentially productive work on behalf of clients.
For instance, today the Associated Press tells us the horrifying tale of a giant python eating a dog in Australia.
They even provide pictures!
I doubt this is going to be useful for my client, but this is important news to be aware of, as pythons are apparently an imminent threat in much of the United States. After all, the San Francisco Chronicle tells us pythons may invade California. Per their article, coming from Florida:
At 20 miles a month, a determined Burmese python from Florida could arrive in San Francisco as early as August 2020.
In the meantime, think of all the dogs at risk between Florida and California! And beavers. The article specifically discusses how much determined giant pythons might like to eat beavers. You might want to keep an eye on Rover between now and 2020.
It reminds me of the nature discussion I went to with my mom once, where the habits of suburban coyotes were tracked. They found coyotes (which are relatives of dogs, right?) mostly lived near restaurant dumpsters and along drainage lakes and creeks. Mom let them set up a tracking station under our back porch, which was near a creek. They found that suburban coyotes ate a lot of squirrel, bunny… and common housecats whose owners were convinced kitty needed to run free.
