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.

I watch this instead of Animal Planet because that channel is no longer about animals, just tree houses and building pools on there these days. This video is like therapy treatment, great job again, ojatro.

How does snakes digest xD

[@fitt4393]

Their stomach acid can even disgest bones so

[@Roscoe.P.Coldchain]

He puts some plum sauce with it 🤪

[@drtoxiccookie]

There hearts grow inside to also process it faster if I am correct to.

[@molv100]

[@Astro-np8fd]

It just ate the duck like a cheesecake.

[@harashiSAN]

What type of python is it?

[@naumanjaved5927]

Really weird to see a snake swallow its prey not head-first...

[@fitt4393]

Awesome

[@jasonlas501]

This python is different from the other type of python. The skin design is different.

[@kylelee5966]

reticulated python

[@gv2817]

The video is likely staged as it’s a morph of a reticulated python. A species that does not breed here in the Everglades.

[@jankowskimirosaw8621]

😮 ✋😓

[@FalconfromRF]

Muscovy ducks are harmless introduced species, pythons are realy invasive, destructive for ecosystem.

[@user-iw9zz2gl9f]

I saw these scenes before there is new

[@nevets68]

How can the snake NOT be considered to be a invasive species? They aren't indigenous to Florida. That being said , the snake should have been shot with 00 buck.

[@ojatro]

Invasive spices have established a breeding population while some exotic animals that have been released or escape are a different matter like the python in this video...
