X-Ray Images Show A Python Breaking Down An Alligator

Day 1
From left to right, you can see the alligator's skull, torso, limbs and tail, sat snuggly in the snakes abdomen.



Day 2
Although it may look like not much is happening, by day 2 the snake's heart, small intenstine, liver and kidneys have increased anywhere from a third larger to double their size in order to help digest this enormous meal.



Day 3
On day 3, we can start to see the alligator's soft tissue being broken down and digested



Day 4
By increasing their organ size, pythons are able to quickly digest their meals before they rot. By day 4, not much is left but the tough skin and skeleton.



Day 5



Day 6
By the sixth day, nearly the whole of the alligator has been broken down.



Day 7
All gone! That must have been one hungry snake. So there you have it, not only can these incredible creatures swallow a meal bigger than itself, it can break it down and digest it in just 7 days too.

Is that hose as soft and supple as the snake?

[turboford]

I'd have an awful short hose after I saw that.
