14 foot python devours a deer whole at Sri Lankan national park
This is the stomach-churning moment a huge python was filmed devouring a deer at a national park in Sri Lanka.
The video was recorded on a phone by enthusiastic tourists who saw it happen at Bundala National Park in Hambantota on January 29.
The python, believed to be 14-foot-long, wrapped itself around the deer and swallowed the animal over the space of an hour.
The forest officials, however, believe the python has swallowed more than it needed to.
They now think that its feed would ensure that the snake wouldn't eat for months.
P.A. Muthukumara, Bundala forest officer, was surprised that the python didn't throw up and said it showed how hungry it was.
He said: 'The pythons normally throw up when it senses people seeing it devouring an animal.
'But looks like it was very hungry and despite the disturbance it swallowed the whole animal.
'It did not require that whole deer and now that it has eaten more than required, it will not to eat for months.'
The clip shows the moment the python tightly coils itself around the deer and you can see the animal slowly inching inside the snake.
