View Full Version : Aussie farmer with lost sheep problem

Seems an Aussie sheep farmer was puzzled about the disappearance of some sheep on his farm. After a few weeks the farmer decided to put up an electric fence.

Now, I know we've all heard of people being eaten by snakes & I bet most of us have said, 'If a snake tried to eat me, I'd blah, blah, blah & get away.'

Well, this is a Python & they're extremely aggressive & have a few teeth that they use to hold their prey while they wrap around them & then constrict.

Could you get away if this one bit you & held on with it's 'few teeth?'

BTW snakes can't eat people...they could kill you for sure, but they start eating from the head end and our shoulders are too "square" for them to work their jaws over...hope this makes you feel better.

I've seen them doing their "thing" in Malaysia .. they are fast and powerful. Get caught by one, and if you're without help, you're dead.

Wouldn't a large snake crush the prey & kinda tenderize it, so that it could swallow it? Say like it may do to a sheep or pig. :eek5:

More electric fence up North :niceone:

They crush to kill... as in choke/suffocate. Not to make eating easier. They eat their prey whole. Saves a lot of chewing ...

Oh yes they can and do.They strike and suffocate you pretty quickly, it's just the swallowing part thats a little slow.
