This is both horrifying and funny at the same time:

(warning - photo of something being eaten by a snake..It's not gory or graphic but it could upset someone..somewhere...probably.)

There was a similar story last year where a snake tried to eat an alligator, of course the alligator got stuck in the snake and they both died. Pretty freaky.....

Immovable feast ... an over-full python became stuck in the middle of a Malaysian road after swallowing a pregnant sheep
:laughing:
In 1972 a python in Burma swallowed an eight-year-old boy.
:ohmy:



In that alligator/snake picture. Which half is the alligator and which is the snake? It looks like there's three ends there instead of just two..
Have fun on the open /¦\

It took me a minute to figure it out too, but here's what I see:

Ok, look at the pic knowing that the alligator is in mid-body of the snake. The alligator is also on his back and you can only see from about his waist down t his exposed tail. One end of the snake trails off to the left. The other end of the snake trails off into the water. The extra tail you see is from the alligator. That whole section there is busted open.



The report I read was that the snakes head couldn't be found :shock:

Ok that's kind of what I figured. I guess the alligator swelled and ripped the python apart? It looked like it was cut open at first but the cut wasn't very clean (looks more along the lines of ripped).
