Scared of snakes?

Recommended Posts

Wow. He's not going to have to eat for 3 months.

 

As for photoshop, this is definitely a plausible situation - I just didn't think a snake could eat something that large. It had to have been a baby.

the reason I say it was photoshop because of the head of the snake is so small compaired when eating the Kangeroo's upper chest area.

That's what I thought, too. How the hell did its mouth get all fuckin huge like that.

If you have seen a snake eat, you will see that the mouth opens very wide to be able to swallow its prey. It would equal to us eating a whole basketball! For the snake to be able to do this the bones on the snakes skull are very loosely connected by flexible ligaments. The jaw can be dislocated, separating from the skull to produce an enormous gape, and the two halves of the jawbone can also be spread widely apart at the chin. Usually after the snake has finished eating, you will see it yawn. This is how the snake puts its jawbones back in place.

Nothing a good 12 gauge slug to the head wouldn't cure.

 

I'm not afraid of snakes, I just hate the bastards.
