A homeowner called a local snake catcher to assist in catching a large python. Even though it was a wet rainy day and a bit chilly, the giant carpet python still appeared at their home. When the snake catcher arrived, he saw it hanging from the roof, tightly wrapped as the trophy was a rather large bird and was trying to swallow its prey whole.

With experience in handling pythons and snakes, the expert waits for the python to finish eating, then gently catches it, bringing it back to the wild safely.

Carpet pythons are commonly found throughout Northern, Eastern and Southern Australia. They live in open forests, rainforests, coastal areas, countryside, parks and suburban gardens.

This python species is not venomous but has a large body size with a length of more than 3m. Like other pythons, they often hunt for small mammals, birds and lizards, wrapping their bodies around and squeezing their prey to death before eating it.

Accordingly, a video recently shared on social networks shows a giant python attacking a baby crocodile on the shore. Because this species is not poisonous, the python must use its large body to wrap and squeeze its prey.

Immediately after, the python opened its mouth and swallowed the baby crocodile.

According to scientists, when attacked, the crocodile’s heart rate is so low that they go into a coma but not enough to cause it to die.

After eating the entire prey, the crocodile suddenly struggled, its power can destroy the python’s internal organs. As a result, the crocodile used its head to pierce the belly of this animal.

The video shows that the crocodile’s head has passed through the body of the predator, the rest of it is still in the belly of this giant python.

Although the crocodile could not keep his life, it also made the python follow his fate, like a fairy tale of our country “God died in the dead”.

Pythons can swallow large prey such as deer and crocodiles. This is possible because their mouths have super stretchy skin and mobile jaws, only loosely connected to a ligament that allows them to open their mouths many times wider to swallow their prey whole.

Especially the Burmese pythons, they can open their mouth more than 6 times compared to their counterparts of the same size. Notably, its high fertility, rapid sexual development, and long lifespan make it difficult to control.

At the same time, the Burmese python is a threat to wildlife, especially mid-sized mammals.
