Reticulated pythons are one of few snakes that grow big enough to be able to swallow a human.
Answer and Explanation: An adult boa constrictor can be as long as 14 feet. It can kill a human by constricting it. However, a human, even a child, is too large for a boa constrictor to swallow.
On top of that, she says that your stomach acids and digestive fluids — plus a lack of oxygen — would kill the snake quickly. “The risk of a snake crawling down your throat is virtually nil,” she said.
Burmese and olive pythons aren't the only giant snakes out there capable of eating crocodiles, they're just the only ones that have been documented doing it.
Carpet Pythons regularly eat large possums, birds and chickens so a small cat or dog or guinea pig could be a potential meal.
This slithery opponent would have to launch the perfect sneak attack and hope the lion was alone. Even if they could squeeze the life out of their feline foe, the python wouldn't have enough time to finish their meal. It takes hours for these long snakes to swallow and digest a kill.
Small, young pythons may be attacked and eaten by a variety of birds, wild dogs and hyenas, large frogs, large insects and spiders, and even other snakes. But adult pythons are also at risk from birds of prey and even lions and leopards.
At the top of the food chain, adult anacondas have no natural predators. The biggest threat to their survival is human fear; many anacondas are killed by people worried that the enormous snake will attack. They are also hunted for their skin, which is turned into leather or used as decoration.
#1: Snakes
One might think a giant snake such as a reticulated python or anaconda would be likely to defeat an elephant, but that's not true. Neither of them has the strength to kill elephants. This is where the king cobra comes in.
Key Points: African rock pythons eat large animals like monkeys, warthogs, antelopes, vultures, crocodiles, dogs, and goats. Burmese pythons have been known to eat alligators. The largest animal eaten by a snake that was recorded was a 150lb hyena.
Some snakes can, on rare occasions, end up eating themselves. Scientists say snakes that eat other snakes may mistake their own tails as that of a prey, and once they begin swallowing their tails, they have perhaps no way of knowing that they are eating themselves.
Snake bite in pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, is a rare event with potential morbidity and mortality for the fetus, neonate and mother. Early presentation and diagnosis, availability of resuscitative measures and anti-snake venom with optimal supportive care are important in saving life.
The green anaconda (There's also a yellow sub species, but they're much smaller) is the largest snake (by weight) in the world. A very large specimen can grow to be a little under 30 feet long and weigh over 500 lbs. There ain't no way a human can beat that barehanded.
The inland taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) is considered the most venomous snake in the world with a murine LD 50 value of 0.025 mg/kg SC. Ernst and Zug et al.
African rock pythons can and do eat humans. While this is rare, pythons do attack and eat humans especially young children of a smaller size. The recorded attacks on humans are quite a few but we think this is because populated areas aren't a great habitat for rock pythons anyway.
The largest anaconda was reportedly 33 feet long, 3 feet across at its widest part, and weighed about 880 lbs. This snake was discovered at a construction site in Brazil.
Lion will usually avoid adult elephant, and attack youngsters only if they have become separated from the herd. However, some prides have learned how to take down full-grown adults under dire circumstances when other food sources are scarce.
Adults are able to consume much larger animals, including deer, capybara, caimans and large birds. Females will sometimes cannibalize males, especially during breeding season. Due to their size, green anacondas are one of the few snakes capable of consuming a human, however this is extremely rare.
lion battle, the lion is the champion.
the black piranha has the strongest bite force recorded for bony fish. number four tigers jaguars which are lighter than tigers have been reported to kill anacondas. so a tiger could likely do so as well the weight of a tiger can be even heavier than that of an anaconda.
The Winner in the Battle Between Pythons and Crocodiles in Florida. Crocodiles are bigger and faster, with stronger offenses and keener senses than pythons; in a battle between a python and a crocodile, the crocodile would likely win.
