Python Swallows a Pregnant Sheep?

Urban legend or reality?

I don’t know if this photo is legitimate or not, but here it is and the story that accompanies it…

Python Swallows a Sheep

WELL and truly stuffed . . . a python too full to avoid capture after swallowing a pregnant ewe in Kampung Jabor on Tuesday

KUALA LUMPUR urban myths usually turn out to be just that, unless you’re talking about the python and its amazing appetite.

The giant reptiles eat no more than once a week, but when they open their incredible hinged jaws anything is fair game. On Tuesday, a 6m, 90kg python swallowed a pregnant ewe in the village of Kampung Jabor, about 200km east of Kuala Lumpur.

It was too laden to move, and firemen easily caught it, the local newspaper reported.

Humans also have become victims. In 1972 a python in Burma ate an eight-year-old boy.
