http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4313978.stm *An unusual clash between a 6-foot (1.8m) alligator and a 13-foot (3.9m) python has left two of the deadliest predators dead in Florida's swamps.* The Burmese python tried to swallow its fearsome rival whole but then exploded.... the alligator may have clawed at the python's stomach, leading it to burst. This story obviously relates more to the "dog eat dog" aspect of competition than the "rat race" aspect (a rat would have had no chance against either of the entrepreneurs involved, I hypothesize).
