A hungry burmese python will not hesitate to kill its own species in the battle for food. The dominate snake coils its powerful body around the smaller python in order to asphyxiate it. In the majority of snake species, only one lung is functioning, yet it still took over half an hour to kill the weaker python. Snakes are extremely vulnerable during feeding and the winner will make sure that its opponent is dead before devouring its prey. After eating the rat, the python continues swallowing its nine foot attachment. The bonus of a double kill is obvious, but it also requires a tremendous amount of energy to feast on such large meal. Its prolonged feeding time also increases the risk of attacking other predators. The whole sequence lasted for more than three hours and the python took a long rest during the feeding. But it was unable to swallow the entire cadaver and the tip of its tail kept hanging out of its mouth when disappearing. If the weather stays warm enough, the digestion will be completed in one week but the python won’t need to feed again for weeks or even months after such large meal. Python Cannibalism part 01 was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in Florida in 2014.
