That is a good thing IMO. The bobcat would have lost in an actual fight. So many native animals have disappeared from the Everglades due to this nasty invasive species.
The title was a slanderous hitpiece against the Bobcast, alleging a chemical dependency on the illegal drug "E" (Ecstasy). Honestly, Amber Heard has really stooped to a new low.
Footage seemed to suggest that the Bobcat anticipated the snake once the cat discovered the eggs; he hung out for almost 2 days and constantly surveyed the area (especially that hole in the undergrowth next to the nest). The Bobcat invited the confrontation with an enemy threat and attacked the snake. The fact that cat covered the eggs at one point may indicate that he marked the spot or relieved himself on the nest. He wanted to leave his "in-your-face" calling card. : )
I can only speculate, but it could be that the cat didn't know what kind of animal laid the eggs, so it was waiting to see what it was. It might have been hoping it was a bird.
Good job. Our big cats are possibly our best bet out of our native animals for learning how to start preying on these things instead of the other way around.
I was pulling for the Bobcat, I hope he/she is alive and destroying the invasive species nests! I don't agree that the FWC puts a limit on how many people [real hunters] can hunt the invasive species! Python Cowboy is a doing a great job for American's by hunting the invasive species!
I don't agree either. It's not like we're worried about them becoming endangered- the literally do not belong there and none should be there in the first place so wiping them all out should be the goal.
I wasn’t aware there was a limit. Not from Florida, but I was always under the assumption it was pretty much open season on pythons and iguanas. Went to the Everglades for vacation last July (awesome place btw) and kept my eye for them in hopes of killing a few….and I’m a snake lover lol

That snake was huge. Good thing that bobcat is super fast. If the snake got its coils around him it would be over though surely those swipes with razor sharp claws were felt by the snake.
Just like if the cobra manages to bite the mongoose. The mongoose is normally too quick. Odds are that cat could have battered that snake until it was so tired it would be an easy meal. It doesn't because it knows one slip is death.

@@bndrillayaboyshere5575 You don't know how cats kill snakes. They simply batter them and pester them until they are exhausted. Snakes are cold blooded reptiles, they simply have no cardio. A cat can wear down a snake just by making the snake defend itself for like 5 to 10 minutes or so. After that, the snake can barely move. Bobcats didn't really evolve to kill large snakes but they are smart animals and this type of behavior is fairly natural for them. Granted, a bigger python would be too much but this snake is not particularly massive. I stand by my statement.
@@Elthenar look it doesn't matter which cat it is and btw for example a green reticulated python this so called "technique" is not about being fast a snake could easily kill and snatch and cat and btw snakes are ambush hunters and are good in stealth the only scenerio a cat can kill a snake is when a snake it's a baby or just small. pyhons been known to kill alligators and jaguars. so a cat whouldn't be a worthy opponent so the thing is that doesn't work on pythons especielly burmese and if u think jumping back and fourth will help a cat no it wont a python will also move during the attack like going forward and attacking the cat and killing it with it's overwhelming crushing force and if u haven't noticed it heres an example have faster bites than a cats reaction. for example a snake relies on it's speed to catch prey like cats so that's what ur assuming that a cat reaction is faster. and if remember if a cat so called "tires out the snake" which in any sceneario won't happen the snake will protect it head and fight back so a pythons stragety is to sneak up on a cat and bite it with it's ligthing fast bite and will quickly end the cat in a few moments so next time ur stupid confident brain is assuming something i'd reccomend u to get more information

This is total BS setting up a cam on invasive species instead of killing the whole dam nest and snake, cat probably will get eaten one day. This is disturbing.
@@xxExistentialismxx if you believe this kind of research you need to go hunt these creatures, this is the exact reason this particular invasion snake is rampant across Florida, Government it’s all about money.
While encouraging, unfortunately this encounter was the exception rather than the rule. This bobcat was lucky the snake didn't appear to be very hungry.
Wow, Scotland. I’m mixture of american indian (muscogee creek) and Scottish, great grandfather came from Aberdeen in the 1880s and married another scottish immigrant who had recently arrived.
I hope that all these eggs were destroyed. However, there was barely a fight between the large python and the bobcat. The python abandoned her eggs and fled.
What was interesting was it looked like the cat didn't eat any of the eggs until she saw the Python. She seemed really curious in the beginning, like she kept coming by and just checking on them...looking around nervously, as if she didn't want to steal from the wrong animal !! And then that one time she came by and looked startled like WTH is this.thing?? I notice they sort of picked at each other and puff the snake is all gone!!.AND THEN SHE ATE THE EGGS!!
Didn't you read the title? That Bobcat has a serious drug dependency problem, and wasn't paying attention to some stupid eggs. Raiding a Burmese python's nest, invasive or not, just for the chance to score a motherload of "E" (short for "Ecstasy" - street slang for pressed pills of MDMA typically cut with "Speed" - street slang for Amphetamine) suggests that Bobcat urgently needs to find a Narcotics Anonymous meeting close by. Those "eggs" were actually giant capsules of hard hitting jet fuel, enough to keep a Bobcat firing on all cylinders for a couple nights in a row - as long as the House Music is thumping and they have a sitter for the kittens at home.
What people don’t understand is it takes these pythons 15-20 years to reach that size. That’s a very long time of surviving in the wild to be considered invasive because snakes don’t grow that fast overnight so the Burms have been there for a long time to be able to establish a population.
@@dollarcostbackpacker1226 yeah.... to observe it obviously. Don't know why this confuses everyone. Observing how an invasive species adapts to its invaded habitat is incredibly important if they want any chance at removing the species from florida. Its only logical to observe them.
So are the populations of pretty much every small mammal in the area. They believe rabbits, possums, raccoons, etc have all had their population reduced by over 90%. And that's not even mentioning the fish and birds.
Snakes are delicious. Meat is thin, fatty. Like a sweeter bacon, or philly style shredded meat. Im from and living in FL, if it breathes we eat it, except humans, cats, dogs, and horses. Although horse was hands down the best meat I've ever had in my life 🤔
@@jfranklin9549 Getting back to you late sorry but yes certain breeds are harder to "fillet" then others as well as it's age. A nice fat mid aged Moccasin is really all that's worth it here in our state. Unless ofcourse it's the large invasive Python, or Colombian Constrictor. I've had a Burmese python "burger" which was absolutely delicious, and iguana "bacon" as well on the same plate. These creatures wreak havoc on the ecosystem here and euthanizing is encouraged. So why not capitalize on the protein 🤷
I am happy to see the bobcat survived that encounter, but that snake could have easily eaten it. Sad what is happening to all the animals in the swamp. If you haven't noticed there are fewer possums, armadillos and raccoons in South Florida.
Contrary to what you hear Pythons dont kill big cats as often as ppl try saying. Most encounters will have no winner w both walking away a bit tired but alive. Big cats can kill pythons easier than pythons can kill big cats. Most big cat deaths are young inexperienced cats. The bigger, older ones know their paws are a lethal problem for a snakes head. One good swipe and its over. The snake needs a perfect encounter where it latches onto a shoulder or neck and can wind around but cats tend to be more nimble than gators so they are much harder to kill for a python.
Bobcat visited that nest many times obviously leaving his scent while playing with fire. Didn't see a fight but the snake could have easily wrapped up the cat. Sad to think that these large invasives are capable of eating big cats in the Glades.
Can you imagine what a house cat goes through to get a Gardner Snake at the front door for its humans? Now upsize the portion to wild cat and extremely large Snake. That's what is happening here. But I would have to see more videos and watch some more behaviors to know for sure.
Isn't there a novel that takes place on a ship which features a battle between a cat and a snake? In this case, it was the cat defending its kittens. However, I don't know the name of that novel.
Wow you had another time the mainstream media tells you about something that you're gonna see and then gives you 4 and a 1/2 minutes to complete garbage.
Looks like the bobcat didn't want eggs it preferred some snake. So he waited for the snake knowing it would return to the eggs. When the snake arrived it was a little too big to deal with.
I’m thinking that the governor and Florida fish and wildlife should be going after the usgs for setting up a cam where this berm layed her eggs and did nothing about it but film. Instead they’re going after the people who own any exotic pets, including fish and birds. Every person that loves animals in Florida and the entire USA needs to pay attention to the Lacey Act and what is in there exactly. I know they’re trying to prevent another Burmese Python, green iguana and tegu infestation but if this act passed people wouldn’t be able to own a parakeet, and of pushed you couldn’t own a Siamese cat, Shiba Inu dog or any other animal that isn’t native to Florida but is able to survive in Florida. Lacey Act must go….
This is a Burmese Python, they don’t normally live in burrows or underground and most of their habitat is the water. Sometimes they will take shelter under hollows and in abandoned animal burrows. Also, pythons tightly coil around their eggs at all times so this one might just be a male (they don’t protect the eggs) or the mother of the clutch died.
@@chriskolb3105 nope but I bet you don’t either. They won’t leave their eggs out. This is a setup video or something. Rikki tiki Ravi is more realistic than this.
I find it interesting that she was off her nest for so long(or at least what seemed like so long, I don't know how much time actually passed), and then came back to sit on her clutch. I didn't think they did that. Also, I'm assuming the reason the haven't killed the python/eggs is because they are doing some sort of research? I hope they step in before the babies hatch and flee all over the place. Or maybe this is video from a private citizens trail camera?
Bob Cats dont find snake eggs to be good. He picking over and just curious about the clutch. Just imagine how many of the feral snakes are out there. They grow to be long as a school bus.
What I find disturbing is that US Geological Survey set up a camera on a known invasive species instead of disposing of both the snake and her eggs.

@@captainawall3169 , are the bones difficult to pick through on a snake?
@@jfranklin9549 Getting back to you late sorry but yes certain breeds are harder to "fillet" then others as well as it's age. A nice fat mid aged Moccasin is really all that's worth it here in our state. Unless ofcourse it's the large invasive Python, or Colombian Constrictor. I've had a Burmese python "burger" which was absolutely delicious, and iguana "bacon" as well on the same plate. These creatures wreak havoc on the ecosystem here and euthanizing is encouraged. So why not capitalize on the protein 🤷
@@captainawall3169 , indeed! If we all run out of food you could open a gourmet restaurant. I’ve heard iguana is quite pricey.
Man, this gives me terrible flashbacks of playing video games online with a shitty internet connection.
There is no fight. Clickbait misleading title.
Beautiful cat!
I came to see the fight and was disappointed
Stupid bobcat walked around the eggs for 2 days couldn't even tell if it ate any. Then a possum and a rat come in and handle business.
Wow! A Battle?!...They stared at each other very strongly.
For Miami reporters who don't get out much, my gosh... it must have appeared vawy scawee!
This is always the indecisive person I pull in behind at McDonald's
I am happy to see the bobcat survived that encounter, but that snake could have easily eaten it. Sad what is happening to all the animals in the swamp. If you haven't noticed there are fewer possums, armadillos and raccoons in South Florida.
Contrary to what you hear Pythons dont kill big cats as often as ppl try saying. Most encounters will have no winner w both walking away a bit tired but alive. Big cats can kill pythons easier than pythons can kill big cats. Most big cat deaths are young inexperienced cats. The bigger, older ones know their paws are a lethal problem for a snakes head. One good swipe and its over. The snake needs a perfect encounter where it latches onto a shoulder or neck and can wind around but cats tend to be more nimble than gators so they are much harder to kill for a python.
@@btnhstillfire yeah, but I have seen some really big Burmese pythons and that females head was almost as big as the bobcats
@@btnhstillfire Bobcats arn't big cats
Bobcats are the size of a Houscat
The Bobcat is hesitant... Because she likes her Python eggs Scrambled with Ham, Smoked Gouda and Chives!
The snake is around 3:43. Are you people blind that are saying you didn’t see it? Smdh
Bobcat visited that nest many times obviously leaving his scent while playing with fire. Didn't see a fight but the snake could have easily wrapped up the cat. Sad to think that these large invasives are capable of eating big cats in the Glades.
Better watch yo ass Steve or them big cats and big ol snakes might join forces and eat yo ass.
Nah , big snakes have problems against big cats
@@tohighup7932 yea Razor teeth and claws
The biggest pythons even eat good sized gators
@@evilsharkey8954 And deer
Total size mismatch between the huge python and much smaller bobcat ... the bobby deserves a Purple Heart 💜
So you knew where a python nest was and instead of getting rid of it you set up a camera.
I doubt they’d let the eggs mature. They’re studying what preys on them.
Can you imagine what a house cat goes through to get a Gardner Snake at the front door for its humans? Now upsize the portion to wild cat and extremely large Snake. That's what is happening here. But I would have to see more videos and watch some more behaviors to know for sure.
Hate that my first thought was "I didn't know bobcats lay eggs". Time to go home.
Glad to see it. Now get that Nutria.
Did i miss it? Saw opossum near the end.
That was a opossum.
if only the python would eat all of the nutria and then die of starvation.
Skip to 3:43.
You're welcome
When the waiter serves you the omelet with extra free sausage
I love the fact that the bobcats hunting skills were missed
The eggs aren't food there bait
I didn't see any fighting.
If a gator showed up we would have a Disney movie.
:Truth Be Told:
Did I miss the fight?
Isn't there a novel that takes place on a ship which features a battle between a cat and a snake? In this case, it was the cat defending its kittens. However, I don't know the name of that novel.
Even more reason to bring them back to healthy numbers…they’ve been seen eating python eggs before.
Wow you had another time the mainstream media tells you about something that you're gonna see and then gives you 4 and a 1/2 minutes to complete garbage.
Looks like the bobcat didn't want eggs it preferred some snake. So he waited for the snake knowing it would return to the eggs. When the snake arrived it was a little too big to deal with.
So set up a camera and watch the invasive snake take out another bobcat?
Zero fighting is shown Bobcat is simply investigating nest, none of the pictures show any predation of the eggs by the Bobcat.
I thought the cat would eat the possum but I guess they’re just sharing eggs together
Mother bobcat protecting her eggs from a natural predator.
Strange cat , kept sniffing them & decided to watch over them like a mother
I just wanna know.. did the cat kill the snake? Was the cat injured?
Scrambled eggs for breakfast, lunch and tea.
Only one egg remained and a possum hatched out of it 😆
I’m thinking that the governor and Florida fish and wildlife should be going after the usgs for setting up a cam where this berm layed her eggs and did nothing about it but film. Instead they’re going after the people who own any exotic pets, including fish and birds. Every person that loves animals in Florida and the entire USA needs to pay attention to the Lacey Act and what is in there exactly. I know they’re trying to prevent another Burmese Python, green iguana and tegu infestation but if this act passed people wouldn’t be able to own a parakeet, and of pushed you couldn’t own a Siamese cat, Shiba Inu dog or any other animal that isn’t native to Florida but is able to survive in Florida. Lacey Act must go….
That snake looked like he may have eaten a few cats.
Since snakes live in holes in the ground, why are the eggs out and or unguarded? The m/f take turns guarding the eggs.
This is a Burmese Python, they don’t normally live in burrows or underground and most of their habitat is the water. Sometimes they will take shelter under hollows and in abandoned animal burrows. Also, pythons tightly coil around their eggs at all times so this one might just be a male (they don’t protect the eggs) or the mother of the clutch died.
You don’t know what your talking about
@@chriskolb3105 nope but I bet you don’t either. They won’t leave their eggs out. This is a setup video or something. Rikki tiki Ravi is more realistic than this.
I find it interesting that she was off her nest for so long(or at least what seemed like so long, I don't know how much time actually passed), and then came back to sit on her clutch. I didn't think they did that.
Also, I'm assuming the reason the haven't killed the python/eggs is because they are doing some sort of research? I hope they step in before the babies hatch and flee all over the place.
Or maybe this is video from a private citizens trail camera?
The snake went off and ate the cats Cubs, lol.
@@raynic1173 such an under-rated comment
Is that a "clutch"?
@@sloopydoopy7318 that's what snake eggs are called, yes. Or were you asking if they were python eggs?
@@sloopydoopy7318 usually the clutch is on the left handlebar, however, I believe some older british bikes had a clutch on the right handlebar.
It's actually good to know that other animals are eating the eggs.
Yet I agree with the post bellow mine.
so when was this fight
Where exactly was the "battle"?
Seen a video of a mountain lion destroying the pride of a Grizzly bear. Silly snake doesn't know how HARD cats can be..
The bobcat was like.. Hmm I use to kill rattle snakes.. But this sht is huge what's going on? XD
Maybe Bobcats are learning to prey on python eggs.... I hope so
I think the company should invest into camera from 2018 - 2022. This 1980 camera is hurting my eyes.
Great invasive camera work
😂 didn’t see no fight at all! And you ppl brought this Invasive species here and let it go in the wild. You are the Cause of this problem
He found a clutch of eggs ! That snake gonna go all out !
WEB EXTRA: Rare Video does not in fact show bobcat fighting python
A local taking out an invasive species.
Plot twist : the python hired the Bob to babysit 🤔
Cat is lucky it didn't end up in the python or is that actually how this ultimately played out?
I see a NEW YORK CITY RAT made a cameo
One of the best videos on RUclips is bobcat vs snake the bobcat kills the snake and does a bobcat victory dance on the snakes body
Breed up more bobcats Florida!
Where was the fight?
...glad that bobcat got some of them...I don't think we'll ever eradicate them ...they do so much damage
Bob Cats dont find snake eggs to be good. He picking over and just curious about the clutch. Just imagine how many of the feral snakes are out there. They grow to be long as a school bus.
It probably kept looking for the mom to come and maybe was getting confused by the camera lense
The snake took too long to get back from the market
