Ooooo why doing this

The natural park of Lake Eland, South Africa has experienced a tragedy this week. A Seba python died after swallowing a porcupine 14kg.

The incident is rare, because this type of python can usually digest without problems a porcupine that weight, despite the sharp thorns of large rodent, said. Seba pythons are the largest snakes in Africa. They measure up to 6 meters and sometimes exceed 100kg. They can swallow far more impressive prey like antelopes.

 But then, what is the origin of the drama? The stress. The snake, which measured about four meters, has probably been stressed by park visitors who came to watch his digestion, Fuller said. "We think that with so many people around him, he stressed. And when a snake is stressed, it regurgitates and abandons his prey in order to escape," she has said.



Cruel: regurgitate a porcupine induced to exert pressure against the grain. In this case, the porcupine's spines are stuck in the digestive tract of the snake, causing his death last Saturday, six days after swallowing the pungent animal.
