Photos of the lifeless python lying on the roadside have been circulating on different social media. A lot of people are quite curious about what really happened to the python since the photo shows a lifeless python with somehow a big prey in it.
This 13 ft python ended up being lifeless after swallowing a tasty porcupine. It was obvious that the snake wasn't able to recognize that it's dinner was a porcupine because it was nighttime when he swallowed it.
The porcupine then claims the stomach of the python using its spikes. The snake was already digesting its huge meal when it suddenly felt the spikes pierced on its belly. The snake realized it too late that's why it ended up being dead on the roadside.
The pain must have been to much that the snake wasn't able to handle the pain and wasn't able to have a good recovery from its huge meal.
Since, the python wasn't able to handle the pain so it fell from a cliff into the cycle track at Lake Eland Game Reserve near Port Shepstone, South Africa. That's when they realized that the python was motionless and lifeless.
Are you wondering how they found out that the snake contains a porcupine? Well, the bikes dissected the snake because of so much curiosity. That's when they found a huge porcupine in the snake's belly.
Do you agree that the pain caused by the spikes of the porcupine really killed the snake? Post your opinions in the comment box below!
