Humans are not the top of the food chain like we like to think we are.
No one suggested it... most people just don't think that this sort of thing could actually happen...except in a movie. It really is a jungle out there.Who suggested that?
Wrong place, wrong time is all it comes down to.
No they don't...Your 2 posts contradict each-other completely Kev but Im not looking for clarity, just pointing out the obvious.
I am not surprised at all Paul, look at how dense their jungle is.Its been quite well documented over the years particularly incidents involving children being taken from watering holes.
This one looks fairly genuine from what I can see though Im surprised how many large animals capable of such a feat are still out there.
I'm calling BS!!!! There have been so many bogus stories about man eating pythons through the years.
These are the consistent factors why I believe a python could never consume a grown adult
I know this story has a large animal and a small person, which takes me back to my first point.
- I don't think python can reach the size that it would take to consume and adult. The size of the animal in these stories is always overstated This one, an amazing 27 feet. How many wild pythons could attain that size? The average is under 20 feet.
- Our body shape would make swallowing whole difficult. We don't have the gradual transition from our smallest to greatest width like most other prey items. If swallowing head first, our head is small but then how would a python manage to swallow our shoulders without being able to gradually transition to the greater width. Swallowing feet first may be possible but it would take a large animal and a small python.
- the source always appears to be dodgy.
The constriction of a grown adult is entirely possible and there a quite a few documented, factual reports (verified by law enforcement or coroner) of this happening in the past.
