Watch A Reticulated Python Swallow An Entire Deer Whole

Science Videos Reticulated Python Wildest Islands Deer Discovery Channel about 6 years agoby Mick Joest

The Discovery Channel uploaded a clip from its Wildest Islands of Indonesia, and I'm not sure I ever want to visit that country after watching this clip. First off, I had no idea Reticulated Pythons are as massive as they are. Secondly, holy shit that thing can kill anything and eat it much faster than I was expecting. Finally, how hardcore of an animal do you have to be that you can force your own windpipe out of your body so you don't suffocate while eating your prey? The action starts at 4:15, but if you watch the beginning bit on Asian elephants and King Cobras, you won't be disappointed. Check it out:

Now six years later I'm the managing editor of Gametyrant.com and still living the dream and giving my opinion to the geek masses! Geektyrant is my life, and I hope that shows in everything I do!
