[主題] Python devours family cat(蟒蛇吞貓)

Python devours family cat Font Size: Decrease Increase Print Page: Print By Rebekah Cavanagh | May 07, 2008
A FAMILY pet has been swallowed whole by a 2m carpet python in a Top End back yard - and now the family has the X-ray to prove it.

Catastrophe ... an xray show's the kitten's skeleton inside the python.
This amazing picture shows the skeleton of Kohl the kitten inside the snake's stomach. The eight-week-old tabby's skull is three times the size of the python's head.

The snake was found with a "bulging belly'' at the McLaren family's home in Tiwi in Darwin's northern suburbs yesterday.

Three other kittens from the same litter and five adult cats were looking on.

Cat owner Asha McLaren said her 14-year-old daughter Taara had gone out to feed their pets about 7am when she made the grisly find.

"It wasn't a very nice feeling to think that this happened in our back yard,'' she said.

"My daughter went out to feed the cats and they normally all come running at the sound of the dish, but Kohl was missing.''

"She then looked around and saw the snake. She called out to me, saying there was a big snake and that she thought it had eaten Kohl.

"When I went out I couldn't believe it. It had a bulging belly and when we couldn't find Kohl anywhere it was obvious he'd been eaten.

"It was very sad as he was my favourite. He was just gorgeous.''

Ms McLaren said they quickly put their other cats in the house and snake catcher Gordon Canning was called out to collect the python.

He said it was unusual for a python to target a cat, but the kitten did not have a chance against the reptile.

He said pythons usually strike at their prey and squeeze it to death before devouring it whole.

"The cat would have been suffocated within minutes,'' he said.

"The snake did well - usually it is the other way around with snakes falling victim to cats.''

Mr Canning said the snake wouldl be kept at the Ark Animal Hospital in Yarrawonga until it digested its feed.

"At the moment it cannot move very quickly so it could easily be targeted by predators,'' Mr Canning said.

"Once it has finished digesting the cat, which will probably take about a week, we will release it back into the wild.''

Mr Canning urged people to be cautious in their back yards as snakes were on the move as the breeding season nears. He has been called out to catch more than 100 snakes since becoming Darwin's first 24-hour snake catcher three weeks ago.

有夠恐怖~不敢仔細看照片(逃)

Once it has finished digesting the cat, which will probably take about a week, we will release it back into the wild.''

當那條蛇消化完那隻貓(通常需要一個星期)，我們將會再次釋放他(蛇)回到野外....
妖壽哦.....如此猛獸可以不要放生嗎.................................
弄一個籠子給他住，放在動物園不是很好．．．．．．

好殘忍的大自然＞＜

這隻蛇在哪......我有缺蛇皮做的皮包...我還想吃蛇肉排毒一下.....

絕對是貓咪去玩蛇反被吃掉
真是太可怕了...一堆英文

食物鏈.........
這就是大自然........
希望那隻貓咪下次頭胎別再當貓~改當好野人家的小孩吧~~

這蛇還要放回野外.........

改天換吃人也是有可能的吧~........................

這不是貓去玩蛇(基本上也不可能又不是普通size的蛇 2公尺長蟒蛇耶)
蛇自己跑進人家後院...............

太恐怖瞭這種蛇搞不好有吃小孩殺人(把人纏死)的危險哩...................

不過野生動物是應該保護~~~即使是殺貓兇手(嗚~~~可憐喵)
把牠野放到外去是沒錯
(話又說回來..........要是我自己養的貓被吃掉..............那條蛇就不要想見到第二天的陽光了................................)
