I only posted a small portion of the entire feeding sequence, which lasted for three hours until the python fully devoured the muscovy duck, which in itself is an invasive species in Florida just as the many pythons found in the Everglades today. Also, in this video you’ll see a reticulated python which is not that often found or reported in Florida’s wilderness. Nevertheless, random reports confirmed that escaped or “let go” pet reticulated pythons do surface from time to time in Florida.
Pythons are large constrictors and became very popular reptiles in the US pet trade during the late eighties but the mass importation has led to serious ecological problem in South Florida. The small python hatchlings out grow fast their initial setup cage and reaching eight foot in length within three years. Many pet owners no longer wish to care for their snake(s) and some people even decided to release their pythons back into the wild. During Hurricane Andrew, a mass escape of reptiles, including thousands of burmese pythons, from their exotic importers took place in 1992.
A hungry adult python stalks its prey with fast forward movements, its head slightly elevated and tongue flickering, picking up the sent particles of possible prey near by. When a possible prey animal is detected the attack is swift with a strike and a bite to the neck, coiling around the prey’s body, tighter and tighter until it eventually dies of asphyxiation. The python starts mostly feeding on the dead animal head first mostly but it has been observed that very often pythons will swallow their prey alive. The feeding can take up to an hour depending on the size of the prey. Python eats duck was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in South Florida in 2014.

Imagine if snakes had gag reflexes...

[@maxhovid]

These ducks don't quack, why would you overlay mallard quacking on this footage?

[@jayholmes5775]

Hahaha they wheeze like the ugly pieces of shit they are

[@Dan-nt2yb]

It’s the snake that’s quacking in order to lure in the stupid duck. It worked!!👍🏾😃

[@itsdimitrigamingandvlogs2876]

They sr3 annoying

[@raphlvlogs271]

really good quality footage.

[@neiloconnor9349]

Most critters are smart enough to get away from a big snake. This duck lacks that instinct.

[@ezstreete]

It has VICTIM and DINNER written all over it's face!!!

[@olympia5758]

Is this a reupload from one of your old videos? Could be sworn I've already seen this.

When the snake starts enveloping the duck i suddenly heard Iron Butterfly "In a Gadda di vidda" .

[@DarkVoidIII]

I see the python's problem: he couldn't figure out how to get the beak into his throat so instead opted for a tasty leg first approach! :D Pythons, by nature, are genetically preprogrammed to seek out the head of an animal they've asphyxiated or otherwise killed, and then walk them down their throat that way. Had the python by chance figured out how the duck bill went in, he could have eaten it in a few minutes. This python obviously doesn't normally eat ducks, therefore this species may have had a genetic lack of information concerning waterfowl species, even though it made a reasonably good attempt at trying to get the head in.

[@ridinglow6732]

All animals are genetically born that way

[@neiloconnor9349]

I suspect the snake had to give up and start over at some point. Normally they need to swallow head first, as the animal goes down easier that way. It appeared at first that it was looking for the head, but started eating from the feet first.

Quack qua......🤣😆😁😄

يجب على الدولة المحافظة على حيوانات الزينة من المفترسات وذلك يكون ببناء محميات خاصة للطيور والغزلان بصفة عامة حيوانات الزينة الأليفة

Thank you!

[@warholbanana6317]

how does this guy have over i million subs

[@icecold2509]

I think I shouldn’t watch these types of videos especially when I’m holding my pet Muscovy

[@A-gala-day]

This is great

[@patriciavazquez5080]

My husband is a long time supporter of yours, now.... so I'm I. I saw a video with your material in it. Here's the channel...."IVM Reptile Channel". The name of the video is..."Big battle in the Nile River_Python vs Crocodile". I thought you should know.

[@ojatro]

Thank you very much for the information. Indeed, the KZbinr claimed parts of my original wildlife footage as his, which is a copyright violation. I've contacted KZbin and the video will be removed. Thanks again!

[@boblol924]

R.I.P for duck

[@ezstreete]

Why did the duck just give up????

[@user-cy6gn6ze2z]

Because the snake literally was too long and strong

[@polonye]

It’s so stupid like you see a snake why can’t you run

[@brantcharlow1691]

The snake is an ambush predator so it lays in a spot and waits and since it doesn’t move the duck doesn’t recognize it as a threat and might not have seen it until it is already too late.

[@reptilegunner]

@@brantcharlow1691 yeah But look at my name...

[@marig6749]

P.us he didn’t see it coming

[@krystjanchanerley9288]

Poor duck

[@demonkitten087]

The dumb snake gives up on the head first routine and decides to eat the bird sideways. Not to bright. I am dying to see the end result.

[@user-ds6xw8dp7m]

Надела ждать

[@yeejkooblis7945]

Poor ducko

[@Dan-nt2yb]

Smart python.....it was quacking in order to lure in the stupid and vulnerable duck😃👍🏾

[@sw33tmitchi]

why would you just watch that poor duck die? could have helped instead of recording and being unhelpful.

[@kylec.8350]

Wrong snakes have to eat and people don't try too play god like you devils.

[@numocron]

Wow.😃

[@positivo1361]

Estas serpientes altamente peligrosas, pueden atacar y engullir a un ser humano, se los debe de eliminar.

[@stonersoles8932]

[@stephaniejordan9066]

Tough old duck hard to swallow not seasoned ugly duck..meat.
