Snake Regurgitates Whole Hippo

The only large snake that shares the native range of a hippo is an african rock python. Anacondas (which is what this snake is) Live in South America. Look at the thing's toes as it comes out. It's definately a capybara. You can find more info on it if you spell right in google :) It's capybara, not capi. Capybara are semi aquatic...so is an anaconda. Capybara and caiman are among the adult anacondas favorite foods. So it's no shock that it ate the beast. Anacondas are by the way, THE largest snakes on the planet. Reticulated pythons get longer slightly on average but anacondas get much heavier. I have a large collection of snakes here and have been keeping and studying them for close to 35 years now and let me tell you... Snakes do puke sometimes for various reasons especially when they eat a large meal like this and then get slapped around with boat oars. Snake puke will run you out of the house. There is nothing that smells worse anywhere. Their gastric juices are much stronger than ours. EVERYTHING but keratin breaks down in it, even the bones are digested. Hair, fur, and hooves are made of keratin. Keratin does not breakdown or change when exposed to gastric acids. So basically all snake poop is is a tiny bit of waste and a whole lot of rodent fur that served as roughage for them. Snakes have a very primative digestive tract. It's a straight shot from mouth to rectum...no squiggles in the intestine. At any point, even 4 days or more after a meal, they can still puke. Snakes have absolute power over the peristaltic muscles that moves the food along and can reverse it at will. This is important because of their very slow metabolism. If because of parasites, loss of enzymes due to temperature change or illness...stress etc causes the meal to stop digesting properly, it will begin to sour and gasses will start causing bloat. If the snake doesn't puke, it will die from necrosis of the bowl from having something rot in it. In this case, as mentioned, the snake dumped the meal in hopes to be able to better escape what she perceives and probably was "predation"

Unfortunatly for this snake, I'm sure anyone with the lack of respect enough to slap it till it pukes probably didn't walk away and leave her be. I'm guessing the big girl probably lost her head soon after they were through poking at her.

the report is from Brazil, my home country. that's not a hippo. we don't have any of them around. that mammal is called Anta, and can be up to 2m lengh and 1m high. it wheights around 200kg and tastes like cow's meat.

Snake is lucky it didn't split open.

This film is not in reverse. Snakes will regurgitate when they are threatened. A snake is very vulnerable to attack after consuming something, especially a large animal. So they will regurgitate. Constrictors, such as this one, remain curled around their prey at the beginning of ingestion. It looks similar to the act of killing. This snake is not currled around it's prey. The film is not reverse.

Whew. I bet that feels better.

I thought this must have been a trick video at first, but snakes can indeed vomit. They often do so if they are bothered too soon after eating. Clearly, the video shows the snake being "bothered."

where they rewinding

I feel kinda bad for the little hippo, he was just a baby. That snake doesn't have to be such a gobbler!

they made it regurgitate - why? did they think the snake might have swallowed a person?

NOT IS HIPPO IS COW BITCH F**k S**k YOU ASS.

this video is mad gay
and to be honest no one cares what the name of the snake is

yumm-yum

And I thought that my girlfriend was great at swallowing big pieces of meat, but man.. I bet even she couldn't do what this snake does.
Bet she could swallow that snake though!

that S**t is awesome but really horrible man i think my mum has a mouth that big

That looked somwhat PAINFULL.

I have never seen sings like this before, what a shock!!!

The anouncer is saying: "This young 6 meters Sucuri, was born in th "Rio Jacare" (aligator river) and was dragged from the water. On soil, she can't move, because of the extra weight and volume, on her bodie's main rings. She felt threatned and tryes to defend herself. She wants to run, but for that, she needs to get rid of the weight. Look what mother nature allows this animal to do..." and shuts up

Talk about bitting off more then you can chew.

that animal is obviously too small to be a hippo; hippo's average 11 feet in length and weigh up to about 7,000 lbs. That animal at most looked like it would weigh 400 lbs. Still pretty amazing though

That snake the lead singer of Aerosmith?

I saw this same thing last time I went by a Golden Corral.

That poor snake, I would puke too if I ate that much and got poked with a stick right after. That S**t is gross!!

ive heard about deer being eaten but wow a whole hippo he must of been struggling to get that down i wish i was there to see that

yo ago if yo quiero bitchhh lol

datz fukin dirty

could this be a terrifying new world of the snakes we shall see.

That snake has a big mouth... I thought that the only creature on this worl that has a big mouth (the biggest) was my ex!

That was sick. I mean, yea it was unbelievable at the same time. But damn. That was nasty.

...horrible? pfff only the HUMAN are this, LOOK!

I am a snake expert. Thats definetly an anaconda because of the coloration and pattern of its belly. But anacondas and hippos don't live in the same region so i'm guessing they either brought over the snake or the hippo to the indegineous region of the other animal.

But what happend after that is the hippo got back on his feet and hopped away.

'scuse me...
:-)

i stil say jenna jameson has a bigger mouth!!

Their mothers must be so proud that they bugged the hell out of a giant anaconda so much it regurgitated it's food. My snake has done that a couple of times. With mice though obviously, not a whole capybara (which is what I think that animal is..thanks David Attenborough). It only happens when he gets pissed off during or just after eating. Some snakes do it if the food doesn't agree with them, but that's incredibly rare, since they know very well what they can and can't eat.

I guess the Hippo called tails

THEY MADE HER DO THAT OTHERWISE THEY WOULD HAVE KILLED HER IN ORDER TO FIND OUT IF THE PRAY WAS A HUMAN OR NOT, IT IS GOOD THEY MADE HER REGURGITATE AND NOT KILL HER.

Anaconda lives in South America, hippos lives in Afrika. So.. it's not hippo, it's tapir.

can believe it if not seen!!!

ya big fatty

wtf were those people doing to it. it must have been in enough pain without those ass holes poking and prodding at it. very weard though.

How the hell would the thing even get it in there??...Wow

the announcer's language is easily one of the worst languages ever invented. listening to it makes me want to stab my eyes out ove rand over and over again

thats one fat snake

F**k me sideways. you don't see that very often

Even thought the narrator's speaking some other language, he still has an australian accent. At first I thought that he was speaking English with a horible accent!

Someone should of taught that snake to chew its food!!!

She ate one of the guys that were disturbing dinner time...

.

The snake wants to get away but it can't because it is too heavy, therefore it has to relese what it ate

So the 'anta' is dead, the snake is full - why can't they leave it the hell alone. I hope it was regurgitating the anta so it could start swallowing the humans which is why the film stopped.

why couldn't they have left the poor snake alone

Sucuri name the snake!
Eat the Capivara!

so long that it throws up its meal?? The snake earned it's food- only the lowest of the low would stand around and make it throw up it's sustenence for the goddamn camera.

I hope the "hippo" is ok...

Wow, i wonder if it could eat my sister?

If that thing can fit in that snakes mouth, SO CAN WE!!! Think about it, being prey to an animal! Whoa.

This is amazing,that snake is so cool!

I didn't know that hippos come from snakes.

the poor snake fought really hard to hunt his meal and eat it and then these fuckers come and make him puke it out so he can run away faster!!! must S**k for the snake.

Thats deffinately not a hippo.
xD

I'm brazilian too. They say at the beggining of the video that this snake is 6m long. This is an "Eunectes murinus", we call it sucuri or anaconda. They are the secong bigest snakes in the world and they can measure about 9 m. The bigest snakes are the "Python reticulatus" wich can measure 10 m and can be found in the jungles of Southeast Asia.

it looks like childbirth ..... but backwards

WHATT!!!

Kinda reminds me of that South Park episode when everyone started pooping out of their mouth's.

poor snake...

anyone read the short story petit prince?? (in french or english - little prince)
it makes me think of the part where he draws a line with a lump and says it's a snake after eating an elephant - lol.

Great clip....

WOW

for the hippo/anta thing

What will the S**t look like

What will the S**t look like

anyone notice how the sound dropped out midway through the video? and being a resident of australia, i can tell you that a snke will DIE before it WOULD EVER regurgitate its meal. Talk to some ex-helo pilots from the Papua New Guinea on tales of fat-ass meals made by snakes.

This is a green anaconda regurgitating what looks to be a capivara. This snake is plenty large enough to have fully digested the rodent over several months. Regurgitating such large prey is potentially dangerous to the snake, since the animal is not positioned head-first, as it is while being swallowed. Unfortunately for the snake, it had a run in with a group of people, sad

what happens to the bones,,?

infernal tummy-ache..

and not to big to digest.. i've had several large pythons and they will spit up what they ate if they are bothered to much as a saftey feature.. cant fight or run with a meal that big in your stomache

i saw the video after i had taken my lunch.. you prbably know what happened next...:)

This looked like a 50 lb Capibara. Still very impressive though how a snake can unhinge it's jaws to swallow something this large. Someone must have disturbed the snake for it to regurgitate like that. I saw footage of an Anaconda snake attack and swallow a 6 foot Cayman (alligator type reptile) That snake sat in one spot for almost 3 months to fully digest the Caymen.

I always thought that what ever a snake had eatened, that it would never "release" it. Unless it was ust too big for it to digest! Hmmm? Was this film run in reverse? I noticed that the french narrator was silent during that portion.

... F**k snake mouse power

it looks like a Capibara. Go and read about this animal. Is like a giant rat.

Cool snake

Horrible case of indigestion!

He can sure eat. Remind me never to take him to dinner or lunch for that matter! My poor kids would probably be on the menu and so would I and he'll be sitting there wondering what sauce to add with us.

is this a python?

I'll move on thank you very much!

.

I THINK I"M GONNA BE SICK

I didn't think that was possible. Insane!

That's not a hipo you dumb F**k , it obiously is a capivara. There is no hipos in south america (you are one stupid son of a pig)

wait till u see my python, i call him monty, most women call him ohh yes yes MORE, i dont know why, and why do they always want to sit on him? maybe since he's been glued to my pevlis since the age of 13
