How did it even wrap its body around the porcupine without being damaged by the quills?

The other pictures

Less than a week later, on Saturday, June 20, park rangers found the python dead near the bike trail. When they cut it open, they found a 30-pound (13.8 kilograms) porcupine.

Believe it or not, pythons and other snakes do sometimes eat porcupines. However, many snakes end up regretting their choice of snack. A study published in 2003 in the Phyllomedusa Journal of Herpetology found that a porcupine's quills can pierce all the way through a hungry snake's body.

The snake was probably fine, at first, eating the porcupine.

If something harassed/bothered the snake enough to make it want to flee, the snake would regurgitate the porcupine to make it easier to do so. Learned a painful and fateful lesson.

Maybe we need to let a few million giant porcupines loose in the Everglades to take care of the invasive python problem. What could possibly go wrong? (^;

Rough way to go. (shudder)
