A group of men believed to be hunters found a gigantic dead snake and cut it open… just to find another reptile inside of it.
The video footage shows a curious man cutting open the body of a giant dead snake whose stomach was hugely swollen. Using a knife, the man sliced its belly to have a look inside its stomach. And what he finds is really shocking, the last meal of the predator had appeared to be another snake.
Then the man pulls the second snake out of the body of the first and lays them both on the ground next to each other. What is even more surprising is that they are about the same size. Actually, snakes can eat nearly anything, due to amazing adaptations of their head and jaws that allow them to swallow objects bigger than their heads.
There are a wide variety of snakes that eat other snakes. Some snakes are able to ingest other snakes that equal or exceed their own body length. The prey must be fit into the stomach, and cannot extend into the intestine or the esophagus, because the lining of the stomach is the only part of the digestive system that secretes digestive enzymes.
Body width is not nearly as much as a problem – snakes have highly kinetic skulls and very strong and flexible trunk muscles, so they can both expand their body cavity and compress their prey in order to accommodate very wide meals.
