Giant snakes discover a squirrel--battle as squirrel watches. Taken by winner.

Snakes are beautiful reptiles. ❤

Inspired by our behind-the-scenes friend at Coyote Peterson's Brave Wilderness. Many thanks for tips, hints, and inspiration. We love you guys; keep up the great work!

Video taken on May 27, 2019 of an anaconda (Eunectes murinus) and a reticulated python (Python reticulatus) taking a frozen-thawed feeder squirrel during our visit to South America.

Giant snakes discovered on farm during a trip to South America. Frozen-thawed feeder made to look live for dramatic effect of story-telling with professional highly-paid reptile actors.

Meal is a frozen-thawed feeder. Controlled situation by a professional crew. Snakes should be fed separately, especially large snakes.

The green anaconda is the largest snake in the world by weight. Longest snake in the world is the Reticulated python, seen in video as a comparison.

A snake's lower jaw is not joined by an elastic ligament at the front (chin) that allows the two halves to spread apart, connected in front by an elastic ligament. Each half of lower jaw moves independently.

Quadrate bones at the back of snake's skulls at attachment points to lower jaws, are not rigidly attached. They pivot allowing vertical and horizontal rotation. This allows ingestion of large prey such as this pig.

Shows the pterygoid walk of snake's jaws. Quadrate bones at back of snake's skulls at attachment points to lower jaws are not rigidly attached. They pivot allowing vertical and horizontal rotation. This allows ingestion of large prey such as this pig.

This video focuses on the science of snake behavior to support a master's thesis. Video is for citation for junior high school, high school science reports.

Jaws of snakes do not dislocate. One of the enduring myths of snake feeding mechanisms is that the jaws detach. They stay connected all the time. As seen in the video, the two lower jaws move independently of one another. The quadrate bone is not rigidly attached to the skull, but articulates with the skull at one end and is therefore free moving.

Video shows the “transport cycle” to get the pig into the python's belly. Called a pterygoid walk, the python opens its jaw and alternately ratchets its upper jaw over the surface of the meal, in turn “walking” its mouth over and around the prey.
