A greedy python has been caught and carried away after it was found struggling to digest two goats it swallowed.
The greedy python swallowed two goats
This is the horrific moment furious villagers in Malaysia captured a giant python after it gorged on two of their goats and was too full to move, reports
Dailymail.
The monster python which is 16 feet long, devoured the hapless farm animals after managing to slither through a wire fence in a rural village in the state of Pahang. However, its meal was cut short after horrified villagers found the serpent sprawled out in the mud as it attempted to digest its large meal.
Its body bulged in the middle with an enormous limp where the two partially digested goats lay.
Villagers who discovered the snake were too afraid to go to close to the creature at first so instead poked it with sticks as it sluggishly reared up to bare its fangs.
But the greedy python could not muster a defence and was eventually tied up and carted away in a truck.
Local Akouck Joe Gank said: 'This was the longest python I have ever seen.
'He ate two goats from a farm and couldn't move.
'That'll teach him to be so greedy. It needed three of four men to lift the python away. He was long, very long.'
Scientists say that after feeding on large animals, the python’s body undergoes some dramatic changes to cope with its meal. It organs rapidly change size and function at many times their resting rate.
