    Hell! And I thought the snake I found dead in my pool skimmer basket last weekend was big enough....that was 9ft long!













    Ok.....it was 3ft long.







    Ok, 14 inches. But it was ugly!

    Holy cow! are they the ones that squash you? Guess there would be not much chance of keeping chooks in that area Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Anacondas are the second biggest snake, the biggest is the African Rock python which can reach up to 12 meters.
    Rudi Hulshof, an excellent nature photographer have a nice series of photos of an African Rock Python swallowing a Wildebeest Calf
    Go to his SITE and see the photos, here is one of them

    I'd be hard pressed to swallow my own calf.
