THIS is the horror moment a 12ft alligator named Godzilla drags a huge python twice its size through the Everglades. Footage shows the monster reptile calmly swimming through the Florida swamp holding its dead prey between its teeth. The python is almost as twice as long as the gator and floats down the side of the beast and then behind Godzilla for a distance again.

In the video, an aghast tourist can be heard exclaiming "it's huge" and saying "that's a really, really big python.". After swimming slowly down the swamp, Godzilla appears to drag its prey into the bushes. Burmese pythons are an invasive species to the Everglades but have flourished in the area and grow to gigantic sizes.

The clip was shot from an observation tower at Shark Valley in Everglades National Park by tour guide Kelly Alvarez. Alvarez told USA Today she thinks the alligator was 12 feet long with the snake being around double that. She said: "I have seen many alligators eating pythons out here….I have never, ever, ever seen a python that large.".

One of her tourists had screamed at the sight alerting her to the brutal fact of nature. Alvarez said: "I thought it was a log floating on the surface of water or something like that. "Then I noticed the alligator moving it.". The terrifying clip was recorded on Thanksgiving Day - with the alligator later sitting down to enjoy its own meal.
