top incredible largest snake's meal ever recorded

 

In this video, I'm going to show you the top incredible largest snake's meal ever recorded.

The largest snakes are large enough to swallow whole a prey larger than themselves. So how does the largest snake measure up to the largest meal that's ever been taken by a snake?

With snakes being so diverse, it is interesting to see how large these massive reptiles can be. That is why I enjoy this fact. It is simply the largest meal that a snake has ever taken in one bite. 

Snakes have been known to eat large mammals such as pigs, but the largest meal a snake has ever been documented eating is a crocodile. According to Guinness World Records, an African rock python managed to swallow an average-sized adult crocodile whole. The python is estimated to be 18 feet long with a 28-inch girth.

The largest snake could be the Burmese python, a species that can grow to a length of 18 feet or more. The largest Burmese python swallowed a deer. According to an eyewitness, the snake swallowed the whole deer, including hooves and antlers, with no apparent discomfort. But given the length of its body, it must have some kind of tube system to digest its food; it is unlikely it digests its food in its mouth like most snakes. It's possible that it leaves the deer corpse dangling from its mouth like an elephant tusk while it uses digestive fluids to dissolve the carcass.

Here is a puzzle. How much food would it take to fill the belly of the biggest snake, say an anaconda? One might think that it depends on how big that snake is. If you want to fill the belly of a 15 foot anaconda you need some 15 foot by 15 foot area of food. But try to imagine filling the belly of an anaconda 100 feet long. If she has stomach the size of an oil tanker, than this volume of food will take up all the space in her coils, leaving no room for her body. So she must have a smaller stomach. So less volume is required.

The heaviest snake on the planet is the green anaconda. The heaviest one ever recorded was a female that weighed 136 kg or 300 pounds 11 ounces. The longest snake on the planet is the reticulated python, which has been reported as being up to 10 meters, or 10 meters plus 5 centimeters, in length.
