found this the other day--its incredible that a big python can intimidate a crocodile and drive it off!


having handled [smallish] pythons,i know that they have very muscular bodies, but

help me out-- a big python can withstand a bite of nearly 2 ton? [as implied in this video]

it does seem in the clip as if the crock bite hasnt done much damage though
being cold blooded and not feeling pain also helped,i think

has anyone seen something similar with nile crocodiles?

some more pythons

Thanks for posting the video, amazing !

Last year, I saw my PH and the game scout handle a pithon that was around 1,5meters.
One got hold of the head, the other took the tail, they couldn t hang to it for long, that animal was powerful !
 
Incredible video!!! Keep them up.

Thanks
 
click on the thread after the above video and look at the the next clip claiming that a young aligator can put up a fight INSIDE a big python after being swallowed!

could 'something' like this then be the result? [not this]
Photo in the News: Python Bursts After Eating Gator (Update)

i allways thought that a python crushed its victim [to death],and that those injuries in itself are severe enough to kill the prey [crunched heart,punctured lungs, broken backbone etc.] apart from oxegen deprivation and blood circulation stop to the brain etc.

you experienced guys out there--can this first statement as stated by the guy in the clip then be true?

HI all, here is a Short update on our America trip, I currently in Houston and have 2 more meetings here before movings North toward Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, and from there I will head to Colorado and Idaho,I have been met with great hospitality and friendship, and have met several new and old clients and we are going to book the rest of 2025 season quick and have several dates booked for 2026!
That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
