Are you ready for the second fauna face-off? Today, the Burmese Python takes on the Fire Ant, making it a battle of invasive species vs. invasive species. Both of these gnarly animals can definitely do some damage, but it’s time to see who will reign supreme. While the sizes of both of these contenders differ greatly, this will surely be a match-up of the ages. Let’s begin to see who will win this deadly face-off.
The first bell rings, and while the majority of spectators have placed their cold-hard cash on Monty the Burmese Python due to sheer nature of his size compared to Ant-Thony Extinguisher the Fire Ant, I wouldn’t count Anthony out quite yet. Monty starts to slither, circling Anthony, looking quite menacing. Who’s going to strike first? Anthony strikes first, biting Monty with his necrotizing venom, causing him to coil back in pain. But, don’t count Monty out yet, that painful sting has seemingly made him even more angry. Monty strikes forward and attempts to crush Anthony with his sheer size, but Anthony just manages to get away...barely. Bell rings again, and folks, that’s the end of Round 1.
Each of these predatorial animals is waiting in his corner, waiting for the bell to signify that Round 2 has begun. And, there it is, the bell for Round 2, and they’re off! Wait, this is quite surprising, it looks as if Anthony has brought along some friends. There are a slew of fire ants closing in on the ring, and Monty appears to be a bit spooked. You see, the only way for Anthony to stand a chance in this particular match-up is to swarm Monty, and Monty can then be reduced to skin and bones. Monty needs to act fast if he wants to win this match-up. Monty uncoils and decides that he will need to surprise Anthony Extinguisher. He dodges left. He dodges right, and he strikes! Anthony Extinguisher has been extinguished by his opponent before he could carry out his master plan! This is quite surprising folks! Monty the Burmese Python has eaten Anthony Extinguisher. It seems as if the hoards of fire ants coming in for the swarm are quickly retreating, as to not suffer the same fate.
Well, there you have it folks. This match-up was short and exciting, which is how Anthony the Extinguisher will live on in our hearts--may he Rest in Peace.
