This is the horrifying moment a huge, hungry Python devours a large possum in an Australian backyard. Snake catcher Stuart McKenzie was called out to a home on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, early Wednesday morning [May 13] after the residents spotted the carpet python slithering along their roof.
But on arrival, the 30-year-old was shocked to see the 6.5-foot snake dangling from their roof with a large ring-tailed possum hanging from its mouth. So as not to disturb the python’s meal, Stuart waited for an hour to allow the snake to finish ingesting the possum, which is when he decided to snap some photos and film an incredible time-lapse video.
