Even though it got up many times to escape, all of the deer’s efforts were unsuccessful, especially when the python, which was more than 8m in size and weighed at least 100kg, was determined to destroy its prey.

The assassin’s eyes make many other animals wary.

It seems that the deer was helpless against the giant python’s tight grip, because the reticulated python’s muscles can cause its prey to break bones and blood vessels.

With the huge size of a deer, the bloodthirsty python struggled to swallow its prey completely. Its body was bloated and sluggish after a seemingly too full meal.

The python’s unique way of hunting is that it uses its body’s strength, not its teeth, to chew and kill its prey because its teeth are not poisonous.

Pythons never chew their food, instead, they swallow their prey whole into their stomachs. Thanks to the special jaw structure linked by flexible ligaments, pythons can open their mouths wide to an angle of 150 degrees.

However, pythons also need to lightly handle their prey by squeezing it to break the hard bones, thereby making it easier for them to swallow.
