With overwhelming strength, the Burmese python easily subdued the crocodile and quickly swallowed it whole.
In the clip, an albino Burmese python is attacking a small crocodile and tightly wrapping around its prey.
With its massive size, the python completely dominates and easily overpowers this prey. Afterward, the python slowly swallows the entire small crocodile right by the riverbank.

Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus) are excellent swimmers and climbers. They use their sharp, backward-curving teeth to grip their prey, then wrap their bodies around it and use their muscles to constrict and kill the target.
They primarily hunt birds and small mammals. However, large pythons often attack larger prey such as pigs, goats, deer, and even crocodiles.
Meanwhile, the American alligator is mainly found in the rivers, lakes, and swamps of the southern United States. They are apex predators and play a crucial role in the biodiversity of their habitats.
American alligators primarily feed on fish, turtles, snakes, and small mammals. However, as opportunistic predators, they can eat almost anything when hungry, including carrion, pets, and even humans, although such occurrences are very rare.
In reality, both alligators and pythons are formidable predators, capable of taking down their opponents with their signature attacks. However, the unfortunate crocodile in the clip was too small, leaving it with no chance of survival.
