11-Foot Python Devours Deer Heavier Than Itself.
It seems a snake at the Collier-Seminole State Park in Florida didn't get the memo on not biting off more than one can chew. Graphic photos, definitely not meant for the fainthearted, show a Burmese python that devoured a white-tailed deer fawn that outweighed it. Documented by wildlife biologists at the Conservancy of Southwest Florida Science Department, the pictures possibly show what may be the largest predator to prey ratio for any species of python.
Wildlife biologists from the Conservancy and land managers from the state park chanced upon the snake, an 11-foot female Burmese python, on April 7, 2015 while conducting research. They recently released pictures while the documentation of the incident will be featured in the upcoming issue of Herpetological Review, a quarterly that publishes studies of amphibians and reptiles.
