If you've never seen this, you will be amazed...

Edit: Link Removed. Unsuitable content.

I still don't believe this.................

Just click on the link, get close and let your mouth drop like mine did..

we did this already itsn ot a hippo its a brazilian tapar wrong head shape and number of toes had been counted and proven that it its in fact a tapar and i strongly doubt and snake alive today coudl handle a hippo they are very very broad animals

OMG, they played it backwards, it was actually eating it.
That's what i think

That is absolutely the most feral thing I've ever seen in my life...gross!

This was posted before and closed down since it shows an animal in distress. Just a heads up.

Sorry if its a repost, and i do not think the snake is in pain, i believe the tape is playing backwards or playing in rewind, i think the snake is actually eating the animal, not spitting him out.

Well, the snake is getting smacked around by a paddle for a bit, I'm sure it doesn't enjoy that forwards or backwards.

this will be closed...

Not being rude but i watched it again and i don't see them once hit the snake with the paddle? i see a couple rub's but no hit's, or am i missing something?

Still, would you like being poked, prodded, or "rubbed" with a paddle? The snake clearly doesn't enjoy it. Therefore, its distressed in some form. Which is why the last topic with this video was closed.

Lottie had a reason for closing this...I am sure she will close it again.

The poor snake is being proded so much that it is regurgitating its meal...

Ok, if the mod's deem it appropriate to close this topic then i respect there wishes. I still believe its eating the animal, the video is just playing backwards.

Actually, the snake IS regurgitating its meal...Its not common for a distressed feeding snake to regurgitate its meal so it can strike.

Understandable, but i don't think these type's of snake's our known for striking its victim's. i believe they constrict there prey.

If that is the case, I don't think it could do much constricting with a huge lump in its stomach, so back up comes lunch.

Edit: I've never heard of a snake that didn't strike, by the way.

You don't need venom to strike. They free up their mouth to strike. Constrictors first strike and grab their prey...Then they constrict

I have been bitten by my pythons...It is very painful..They are sometimes more adept to strike than other snakes.

I didn't mean to get member's mad at me, I will leave it at the discretion of the mod's.

Yes, well, prey rarely wanders into their coils voluntarily. The snake must first make a successful strike before it can coil around the creature and constrict.

As to the question of whether or not it is regurgitating, if you look closely you will see saliva (or perhaps digestive juices, or perhaps the remains of an erlier meal - difficult to say precisely) dripping from the creature's feet. If this was played in reverse, then why would it have saliva on its feet BEFORE it was swallowed? Also, as the saliva is clearly dripping downwards, would this mean that in actuality it is dripping up?

You may be right but if you stop it right before the end , you can see that it look's like the snake is grabbing it again,or the tape stop's and start's playing the right way. ?
stop it and play at 2:10

I'm afraid they are right, it has been closed before simply because it contains images unsuitable for this board, including an animal in distress.
Thank you for understanding.
