Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty…

Python eats cat

Cat xray
This X-ray reveals the Australian kitten, known as Kohl, inside the gut of a 6-foot-long carpet python. Though the kitten’s skull was larger than the snake’s girth, the reptile dislocated its jaw to swallow the feline whole.

Apparently this isn’t that rare.

Thanks Mike F

  1. Like sharks and alligators, you usually will not have a problem with a snake until it gets to be about two meters long. That seems to be some sort of magic number where the animal gets large enough to start taking out pets, and even small people.

    If you have pets, and you have small people, do not get around carnivores that size.

    A snake might not eat a child, but do you really want an infant to have something that size wrapped around his or her neck?

    I’m a big fan of snakes, really, I am, but having large snakes around small people is just like begging for a Darwin Award.

  2. LOL @ Mike! It isn’t that unusual here. I have never heard of a python in Australia trying to take a child. There are so many things that can kill you here that if your pet goes missing you assume it has been run over or suffered a snake bite. Pythons aren’t found in the suburbs but people in bush land would have this trouble.
