A 15ft Burmese python has killed itself after it swallowed an entire cow in the Phitsanulok province of northern Thailand.
The snake was discovered by a farmer who was searching for his missing cow.
From the video sighted, the snake could be seen laying restlessly on the grass after biting off more than it could chew.
The locals in the town alleged that the stomach of the python tore after it had a hard time swallowing the cow.
One of the locals, Nirun Leewattanakul provided some information about how the snake was found.
“The python must have been hungry and saw the cow. It then strangled the cow to kill it before swallowing its whole body.
“However, after the cow died inside the snake, its body became swollen and stretched the snake’s stomach even more. It was such a scary scene.”
A similar occurrence happened last year when a snake was seen consuming a possum in an Australian backyard.
The snake was later snapped by local snake catcher Stuart McKenzie.
Stuart McKenzie explained what ensued and said: “I got a call out from a residence after the saw the python on their back patio roof and heard a bit of a commotion.
“When I arrived it was dangling there from the roof with the possum in its mouth. I knew if I tried to take it away right at that moment, it would likely drop its food and not want to eat it again.
“I realised it had only just started it’s meal so I knew then I had to wait for it to finish eating. It’s just nature so the best result is that the snake gets it food as it is already dead.
“It took about an hour to eat it completely, so I just sat with the residents while we watched and waited for it to be done with its meal.”
