Nature Wants to Eat You
Here’s the mouth of the reticulated python; behind it lies up to 10 metres of snake. Fortunately, you’ll never have to know what it’s like to be swallowed by this mouth. GOOD NEWS! Unfortunately, that’s because the python will have suffocated the life out of you first. BAD NEWS! Do giant snakes like this actually eat people? Yes. Yes they really do. There’s a Philippine tribe where a quarter of the men have been attacked by these snakes. (By the way, see the hole in the bottom of the mouth? That helps the python to breathe when it’s swallowing a meal much larger than itself. I’m sure you’ll be delighted to know that after it choked you to death, you won’t return the favour.)
