              Only about twice the size of domestic cats, Florida's bobcats may be small in size, but they're big in moxie.

              Case in point: A bobcat appears to have killed a massive, 13-foot Burmese python in the Everglades recently and made a meal of it.

              The 52-pound male python was a Conservancy of Southwest Florida scout snake nicknamed Loki. Scout snakes have implanted transmitters that are tracked and used to lure breeding females.

              The invasive snake was found in a pile of debris, apparently mauled, with its head smashed and slashed, and partially buried for later feeding.

                    Genes want to survive. Organisms only think they want to survive, because that thought is useful to the genes.

                      I'd say that genes are just as dispassionate as LLMs are. It just happens to be the case that genes that do not contribute to replicating themselves disappear after a while.

                          Cannot tell from the video whether babies eat each other too. Are the babies smart enough to distinguish mother from siblings?

                            @Axtremus In my very small research, it appears that

                            • the mother is already dying when giving birth. So, maybe gives off some sort of smell the babies recognize?

                            • there is some bacteria in the mother that helps the babies digest things, which I guess they by instinct know.

                            So, I dont think that they eat other babies.
