Python may have bitten more than it can chew

A recent study shows pythons’ mouths can stretch four times wider than their skulls, creating a gaping maw four to six times bigger than a similarly sized brown tree snake’s. This allows them to swallow large prey that would look impossible. However in this sighting the prey that the African rock python was trying to swallow might have been too impossible for it to swallow.
