Gigantic Python Swallows, Vomits Up Even Bigger Python
This snake spewing forth occurred in East Kimberley, Western Australia, as per neighborhood news site The New Daily. Kurt Jongedyk, the chief at Parry Creek Farm Tourist Resort and Caravan Park in the zone, apparently went over a 11.5-to 13-foot (3.5 to 4 meters) python and "migrated" it far from his home. By then, the python started to "raise its supper" — "a considerably fatter python of about a similar length."

Records of pythons eating different pythons turn out not to be that uncommon. Here's a National Geographic video of precisely this kind of snake human flesh consumption in real life. What's more, pythons are more than fit for gulping bigger creatures, and even, in some terrible cases, people.
In opposition to mainstream thinking, snakes don't unhinge their jaws to swallow greater critters.
"One of the suffering legends about snake bolstering instruments is the possibility that the jaws confine," Patrick T. Gregory, a science teacher at the University of Victoria in Canada, recently revealed to Live Science. "Truth be told, they stay associated constantly."
However, the two jaws move autonomously of each other, without the hard confinements that you have with human jaw pivots.
"The two mandibles are not joined at the front by an unbending [joint], as our own may be, yet by a flexible tendon that enables them to spread separated," Gregory said.
So as to swallow snakes bigger than themselves, Live Science recently revealed, littler snakes power their prey's spinal segments to twist in waves. That psychologists the gulped snake's general length, "bundling" it to fit in the predator snake's stomach.
