African rock python swallowing a bird!! Seen in Kruger National Park

This young African Rock Python was seen busy eating a bird just amazing how it can swallow the prey hanging upside down. They are very well equipped with rows of teeth that acks like hooks to not lose grip on the prey. After they've grabbed their prey in their long teeth, pythons kill it by constriction. Contrary to popular belief, constriction does not mean crushing.

This video was made by tour guide Hennie Bekker while on safari in Kruger National Park.
