I swear the world's most threatening animals are slowly evolving into some pain-immune, monstrous behemoths.

This is why I don't buy all this human superiority crap. Sure, as a RACE maybe. One on one we'd go down to a huge amount of animals. That electric fence would damn near kill any human, yet it was only annoying the snake.

I was looking for a bigger story on it because it DID look a bit dubious, the mouth pic. It's real though apparantly.

Scary stuff.

thats insane it had a full impala in its stomach

There was a recent article from Florida where a python had swallowed an alligator.

Sadly the alligator was too big and ended up bursting through the stomach of the snake, killing it. Both animals were dead.

No, actually it's not.

Alpha Centauri
Yeah.

I've never personally thought the idea of a python being able to swallow me whole was ripe for comedic parody, but that's me.

I guess "*snap,snap*stick out tongue " is also humourous.

AC, I think Nauj thought the alligator and python story was funny. I agree that humour is subject to personal preferences and attitudes.

Personally, I find someone finding humour in the painful and horific death of two animals to be both immature and slightly moronic. But hey, everyone is different when it comes to humor *snap,snap*.

I think it's the WAY* they died that Nauj thought was humerous. You do have to admit it's a pretty weird way to die.

Weird? Yes.

Interesting? Sure.

Funny? Maybe to a village idiot.

Exactly.

"OH MY GOD THAT SNAKE IS TRAPPED! LET'S GET IT OUT!"

"Get a hold of yourself man! It's larger, sharper toothed and more powerful than us!"

"Ok, kill it."

-AC A python in Florida? Did it escape from the zoo or something? I don't think we have those here. Either way that's really frightening.

Didn't it die on the fence?

There's quite a large number of pythons in the everglades now. A growing population.

The alligators were allegedly being relied upon to keep the growing python populace down. Apparantly they're not doing a good job.

I think the floridian authorities have captured something like 300 pythons or constrictor in the everglades in the last 10 years.

People are releasing their pets and messing things up.

I guess people must've brought them there.. I'm pretty sure that they aren't native to Florida. Well at least that's what I always heard.. that you have to go somewhere like the amazon to see pythons and boa constricutors and whatnot in the wild.

I've never been to the glades.. but I want to go.. would be cool to see an alligator or a python in the wild.

KharmaDog
They are not native to florida, people have been releasing them in the wild illegally.

MistressofSnape
There was an article a long time ago about a guy who fell asleep on the job and got swallowed my a huge python. When they cut the snae open the guy was still in there. It was in the Amazon...I think. anyway it was I true story. Now that is freaky! eek! The snake died couse the guy was to big for it to digest. The guy also was dead.

Afro Cheese
What a way to go..

You live in the land of the sun and never seen the glades?...wow...

Afro Cheese

any animal that can tough it out when gettin zapped constantly by that fence deserves a long life.

MistressofSnape
so right...

Alpha Centauri
That's the amazing thing though.

A human could easily be killed for doing so much as touching the fence. The snake was tangled in it, caught up in it, biting it, yet survived.

it was already dead
the python electrocuted itself on the fence.

Umm....I'm getting two versions of the story. Are we talking about the same snake?

*goes back to read the article*

PVS
from the article: "The snake in this picture had eaten a full grown Impala ewe and, sadly, caught itself in an electric fence."

the guy just forgot to mention that he didnt kill it.
i mean, why wouldhe consider it 'sad' if he didnt give a shit
and just murdered the snake. obviously he's not a journalist
and didnt think to explain further.

maybe it has a greater capacity to withstand electricity, but its still going to die from prolonged exposure like that.

That mouth shot is magnificent.
