I had this pictures in my e-mail where in the python swallowed a man. im not kidding... but for some reasons, the message was gone...
And why was the snake so fat? Because he'd had a rather large meal... When the python was skinned we found a full grown Impala ewe had just been swallowed. The python kills its prey by coiling itself around the animal and constricting it. When the animal is dead the python swallows it normally head first. Having swallowed its prey, the snake will find an abandoned burrow or hollow tree in which to hide and digest it's meal.
