A horrific video shows a 13 foot rock python vomiting the corpse of a dog that it ate earlier, the shocking scene was caught on cam.
Reports suggest that the incident happened in Udaipur, Rajasthan. Which is in India.
The video was recorded in a forest in India by wildlife enthusiasts who were on a rescue mission in Udaipur.
The enthusiasts were passing by the area when they saw the rock python.
After some time, they realized the python had eaten something big, and moments after, the python started to vomit out the street dog.
You may wonder why the snake puked it out.
Well, if snakes feel that a predator is nearby or they are stressed, they start to vomit something that they ate earlier.
The wildlife enthusiast who recorded the extremely rare moment explained the incident.
He said, “On Wednesday morning, we were going on a rescue and on the way we saw some people disturbing a four-meter long Indian Rock Python that had eaten something. As we reached closer to the reptile, it was spilling out the kill which was a street dog.”
He added, “Python takes almost half an hour to swallow and they can swallow the prey more than its diameter because the jaw bones are not connected. But they regurgitate when they eat something they put all their energy in swallowing the food and sense a predator is nearby. By regurgitating the prey as soon as possible, the reptiles collect the energy and move away.”
Due to serious deforestation, snakes are starting to eat goats, dogs, and cats. Wildlife experts say that snakes are changing their eating ways due to deforestation.
The wildlife enthusiasts also mentioned that this is not the first time a python has preyed on dogs.
Snake experts in Indian villages believe that deforestation has caused a serious imbalance in the ecological system.
This imbalance has forced reptiles and wild animals move towards human habitat.
This endangers the lives of both the animals and humans as one would kill each other for their own safety.
