A science story from ABC News's website about deadly human-eating pythons in the Everglades:
ABC tells us we should be very afraid of a hybrid between African rock pythons, which have been found in the Everglades swamps and are homicidal, and the more gigantic Burmese pythons, also residing in the swamps but not bothering humans, even though it "remains a big question" whether the two species "could produce fertile offspring."
There's nothing scarier than the things you guess might be out there. Definitely newsworthy.
