Big Cat Vs. Bigger Snake?

Written by Ed Williams


Continued from page 1

It’s safe to say that a fight between these two species would be something alongrepparttar lines of King Kong vs. Godzilla, and, if anything, that might be low keying it. The announcer proceeded to raise my anticipation level even more when he started handicappingrepparttar 109765 fight. He said that ifrepparttar 109766 anaconda was able to biterepparttar 109767 tiger’s head that it was all over, that this would enablerepparttar 109768 giant snake to holdrepparttar 109769 tiger and quickly wrap a couple of coils around him. Onrepparttar 109770 other hand, a tiger is so quick that it possibly could avoidrepparttar 109771 strike ofrepparttar 109772 anaconda. If that happened,repparttar 109773 tiger’s jaws or claws would be enough to do serious damage torepparttar 109774 snake.

Man, after hearing all that, I can tell y‘all that I was wide awake and ready to watchrepparttar 109776 animal kingdom fight ofrepparttar 109777 century!

Do y’all want to know who won? I hate to have to tell y‘all this, but they didn’t actually match up a live anaconda and tiger. What they did was assign a team of experts to build a mechanical anaconda and tiger. I guess they were concerned thatrepparttar 109778 animal rights people would be on their butts if they staged a real fight, and I‘m sure they were right about that. Honestly, though, I lost interest inrepparttar 109779 program when I discovered that a real fight was not inrepparttar 109780 cards. Maybe I’d have to sum it up like this - watching a fight between a mechanical tiger and a mechanical anaconda would be about as interesting as watchingrepparttar 109781 prettiest female stripper inrepparttar 109782 world put on more clothes as her background music was playing. Some things in this world have to be real to mean something, and that definitely holds for true for a battle between an anaconda vs. a tiger. Man, just think, if we could’ve gotten a real fight goin’ with Marlin Perkins in there with ‘em both asrepparttar 109783 special guest referee....
