Python Dies After Swallowing A Fully Grown Antelope

Greedy python dies after swallowing a fully-grown antelope, which was so big that it killed him. The 20ft long python was seen rolling around with an abnormally enlarged belly in Baliavad village near Gir wildlife sanctuary in the Indian state of Gujarat. The python had
swallowed the antelope after strangling it to death minutes earlier. But the poor reptile did not realize that he has swallowed more than what he could chew. After devouring its meal, python could barely move because of the size of the prey in his stomach. Moments later, the snake died. The presence of the oversized python captured the attention of villagers, with a crowd of onlookers quickly gathering around to watch the feast unfold. The incident, which took place is believed to be the first of its kind in the village but has led to concerns among snake experts. It remained unclear quite how the giant snake nabbed and devoured the antelope in the first place, but eyewitnesses said the python tried to regurgitate the antelope but it failed. Pythons swallow their prey whole, and take several days or even weeks to fully digest it. They are known to prey on animals much larger in size. After eating, a python can go several weeks, if not months, without needing to feed again.
