Python Stalks And Eats Family Pet

[ohdear]

I bet the dog was called lucky.

A 16-foot python stalked a family dog for days before swallowing it in front of two young children.

The snake ate the five year old Terrier-Chihuahua crossbreed at a family home near Kuranda in Queensland state, Australia.

Both youngsters - aged five and seven - watched their pet disappear.

Stuart Douglas, owner of the Australian Venom Zoo in Kuranda, said all he could see were its hind legs and tail when he arrived.

He said: "It actively stalked the dog for a number of days. The family that owned the dog had actually seen it in the dog's bed, which was a sign it was out to get it.

"They should have called me then, but (the snake) got away and three or four days later, I was called and went around and removed it after the dog had been killed."

Scrub pythons typically eat wild animals such as wallabies but sometimes turn to pets in urban areas.

Zoo manager, Todd Rose, said they squeeze their prey to death before swallowing it whole - the dog would have been suffocated within minutes.

But she said removing the half-swallowed animal could have harmed or even killed the python because dogs have sharp teeth and claws that could cause internal damage if wrenched out.

The dog was still being digested days later

That's fuck all

Somebody told me once that they had this mate who'd had a snake since he was about 10. He'd looked after it for 8 years, feeding it, making sure it was comfortable and even, in the end, letting it sleep at the end of his bed curled up.

Anyway one day he woke up and the snake was lying stretched out vertical next to him. He thought "That's odd" but left it. The same thing happened every morning for about a week or so. Then the snake stopped eating and so the lad got a bit worried and took it to a vet. When he told the vet what was going on the vet told him he'll have to take the snake off him

"Why?"
"Because your snake is trying to eat you?"

The snake had been measuring himself till he was big enough to eat him :eek:. And had even been starving itself knowing it was getting a feast.


Evil little bastards!

I've heard this story before too, off a mate who claimed it was a friend of his. Reading the above here, makes me wonder if it's an urban legend?

Horrible if it's true though.

There was something on tele a while back about a python that had eaten an alligator, but the alligator had burst through the side!

My sister told me something similar last week saying she heard it on a radio phone-in.

I really wish i had not viewed that, i think i am going to hurl my lunch up

Warning: the following is a true, but rather disgusting and definitely a bit sad story involving an anaconda. You've been warned!

This may sound weird, but I grew up in the Amazon, so I've had a bit of dealings with anacondas (my parents ran a free clinic in a very poor native settlement). First of all, the animal in the video posted above is definitely not a hippopotamus. Hippos live in Africa, anacondas in South America, so for sure it's not a hippo. Tough to tell for sure, but I'm 99% sure that's a capybara (not sure of the English spelling), an enormous rodent, that it's regurgitating. Believe it or not, capybaras are very tasty, though they're tough to kill since they can sit underwater so long.

Anyway, I swear this is true, although no one may believe me, but some of the native people down the river from my parents place once killed an anaconda that also had a huge bulge in his belly. They took it into the nearby small town, and someone thought it would be a good idea to photograph the cutting open of the giant snake (the natives thought it was their lucky day; rather like a two-for-one deal, since anaconda meat isn't very good but they could sell the animal inside for meat).

Long story short, they slit open the snake, with someone taking pictures, only to find an 8-year old girl inside. She hadn't been dead very long, and even still had her clothes on, so they were able to track down the family. Obviously, when you live in the Amazon, and your child disappears, you know they're dead, but you usually don't figure out how or where. In this case, the girl in question had been sent to the river with a bucket to haul back some water, but the anaconda had obviously seen that she was small enough to eat and had gotten her. The pictures were, well, let's just say something you wouldn't want to see. One of the weirder days of my childhood (although in truth there were many).
