What was the point in swallowing the cow, if it can't digest it?

Holy Cow...

That sucker has to be at least 25 ft. or so....

Wouldn't be nothing to swallow a human, that's for sure.

Awesome video~~
[gross but awesome]

Wow! A whole cow!

It could be because their "food" was slightly too large or the anaconda grabbed it improperly.

Given time he could digest it, snakes usually regurgitate when they are stressed or feel threatened and need to make a quick getaway. in most cases anyway

reply to post by Wide-Eyes


In fact they do diggest cows. It takes months thou. What's left is spit out somehow afterwards.
This is well known here in Brazil and not very uncommon in the north.

So how can a snake get the drop on a cow?

And then after all that work, why just spit it up?

Really fascinating.

Peace

It was a bad idea to eat the cow, couldn't move out of the water.

As a once snake handler AKA snake husbandry, Snakes have a awesome ability to detect sickness and disease and will not eat or will regurgitate their food if tainted or sick. Sucks they have to kill it to find that out, but it's a cycle of life and food chain.

Holy crap thats a huge snake. If I were those guys, I think I wouldve killed it because it is obviously a danger to any man, woman or child it comes a cross.

Or maybe leave the snake to do what it does in peace? Why is it always the animal should be killed, when it should be we should be moving away from them.

Actually the guy in the movie says it's a Deer.

Nope, id rather kill it and make me several pairs of snakeskin boots, maybe even a jacket.

Hmm,don't think i shall watch that-but great title FP!

Could it be reversed footage of a snake eating a cow though?
Although,who wouldn't puke up a cow if you tried to swallow it whole..

Dang-I will have to watch it won't I-Just not now while eating.
Later.

OH MY GOD! THAT IS THE WORST THING I HAVE SEEN EVER PUKED OUT BY ANYONE OR ANYTHING

Literally, my jaw dropped! And so did the snake's apparently.

Jaw Bones of Snakes

A snakes' lower jawbone is only loosely connected to their upper jawbone. The lower jaw is made up of two bones that are connected by an elastic, or stretchy, tissue, so the snake can open its mouth very wide (several times as big as its own head), accommodating a relatively large animal.

I swear it is worse to puke out what you eat than.....the mechanical joy of chewing on something challenging for consumption!

Post Ending Question: I wonder what happened to the cow after this event ???? Maybe there will be a sequel to this video!

Humans are the dangerous ones. Suggesting killing that incredible animal just because it's big is sick.

Its not bad. Its kind of hard to focus. It looks more like the snake is giving birth to the cow.

Thank you Karen-that sounds so much nicer than so of the previous posts.
I will however still refrain from watching the vid just now for my own reasons.

Until later.
