Hi Moonbeams,

It might take time to load or the server might be busy.
Try again later but be sure to see it.

Awesome, Daffodil!
I have heard that snakes have muscular strength, but to prove this, this picture is the proof!

Hi Daffodil,

Its really amazing how powerful this creature actually is.

Pythons eat humans, small cows etc... we all have mostly seen it.

What surprises me in this picture is not its lifting it. but
1, the size of the snake (called Olive python in Australia)
2, and where was it taking the prey given its location. very hard to shelf it :)

all i can think now is "lucky it wan't me". I do rock climb on and off. Only advantage with such large animal is, i don't stand a chance defending and will die quickly in shock.

I'll postpone my next rock climb for 2months atleast.

Cheers
Veera
