YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFootage captured the incredible moment a “cannibal” cobra decided to turn on its own kind and devour a monster python in India.
The spine-tingling footage, shot by onlookers in Mysuru, Karnataka, shows the venomous Indian cobra ingesting the three-foot Burmese python, a giant constrictor native to Southeast Asia.
According to Jam Press, the python died quickly from the cobra’s venom, whereupon it was gobbled up in one, drawn-out bite like a scaly sausage.
Snakes have flexible jaws that allow them to consume prey larger than their head which explains why the elapid was able to swallow such a thick constrictor.
Nonetheless, this was no mean “feast” given that Burmese pythons can grow to 23 feet long and 200 pounds, making it one of the largest snakes on earth.
