“STUNNED dinner party guests lost their appetites...”
Wimps. That had to beat any cocktail conversations. A friend of mine had a 12 foot Burmese python. He told me one day that it was feeding time — would I like to see it eat a rabbit or a chicken? I opted for the rabbit. The bunny was so huge that I had to watch the whole performance to see just how that fat rabbit would ever fit inside a narrow snake. After crushing the rabbit, the snake’s coils twisted the rabbit from end to end like you would wring out a wash rag. After the rabbit had been narrowed down by stretching lengthwise, the snake dislodged its jaw and slowly enveloped the rabbit’s head. I still have this mental picture of nothing but the hind feet sticking from the snake’s mouth! That’s just nature — you can either be horrified or learn something interesting from it.
