However, the hungry python, which is estimated to be between 11.5 feet and 13 feet in length, couldn’t handle the meal and subsequently regurgitated it. Although snake cannibalism is not that rare, according to Live Science, their diet consists of mostly small animals, though sometimes they have been known to eat adult deer, antelope and in rare cases, humans. In 2017, a giant 23-foot python was found to have eaten an Indonesian farmer, swallowing the man whole. Pythons, which are native to Australia, as well as various parts of Africa and Asia, have been known in some cases to reach…

This hungry leopard had no choice but to admit defeat after picking a fight with a prickly porcupine. The predator was spotted stalking the spiky rodent in Kruger National Park in South Africa before it decided to attack – a decision it would later regret. The bizarre battle, which lasted an hour and half, saw the determined leopard take several breaks to remove spines from its paws and lick its wounds, while the brave porcupine refused to back down and simply stood in place defiantly as if to tease its opponent. The leopard eventually admitted defeat and the pair appeared…

“Pharaoh Seqenenre-Taa II” Was Executed After Being Captured In Combat Seqenenre was suddenly surrounded by enemies.

The Los Angeles Lakers are recognized as one of the biggest NBA franchises. They have 17 NBA Championships to their name and they are tied with the Boston Celtics with the most NBA titles in the history of the league. So the Lakers certainly have a rich history and even won a title recently in 2020. Despite that, if you have followed the Purple and Gold over the last 10 years or so, they haven’t looked like a dominant organization. The most recent example of it was when the team failed to advance to the postseason last season. It was…

In the human world, we can get away with saying “Pick on someone your own size”, but in the animal world, it’s fair game. If a predator can bring it down, no matter the size, they’ll go in for the chase. This is exactly the case when a pride of lions try and take down a huge giraffe. https://youtu.be/qCG9y7Sh404

The steaks were thick when Lilli the six-legged cow went under the knife to have her extra limbs removed. After all, she was in grave danger.

A lot of birds have truly beautiful color patterns. Today, we’re looking at a species of bird with conspicuous yellow patterns that contrast with black and white. Meet the Goldman’s Warbler. This bird living in North America can be found around the continent. Goldman’s Warblers generally like living in coniferous forests (where spruces, pines, larches, and firs primarily grow) or forests with a mix of coniferous and deciduous trees. Their population is dense in the continent’s northern areas during the breeding season and then in winter, they migrate to the southern parts. Their diet is very much the same as…

Neglected, hungry and in p.ai.n, the two horses were a pitiful sight when they were dumped near a country road. One, an adult, had a tail so long he trod on it when he walked. His feet were a matted, heavy mess of muddy hair, and his hooves so overgrown and misshapen it made every faltering step a.g.o.ny. There was also bl.o.od on his muzzle from a cut near his lip. The other, a foal, was so malnourished he did not even know what horse food was. You could see his ribs and spine, and he was so weak he…

An adorable bear cub was found lost in the wilderness without his mother by a Turkish rescue centre in Hakkari, a nearby province on the Turkish border with Iraq. The baby bear, called ‘Hakvan’, is pictured guzzling from a milk bottle after his rescue. Photos show him being nursed back to health after his solo adventure.

Somewhat looking like a blindingly bright exclamation mark at your bird feeder, this bird makes a visual statement wherever he goes!

His black wings have white patches and rose-red linings. Mostly white below, his…

The man, who was visiting Australia for the first time, watched on in horror as the huge snake killed the bird while dangling from the roof’s gutter.

LeBron James knows the Los Angeles Lakers have a lot to prove this upcoming season after a very disappointing 2021/22 campaign. The Purple and Gold appeared to be championship favorites ahead of the last campaign, but things started going wrong as soon as preseason started. Nothing changed during the regular season, which made the Lakers miss the play-in tournament. Meanwhile, LeBron became the only good thing the team had during the season, posting up big numbers that didn’t translate into wins for his squad. Russell Westbrook’s struggles to find his place on the team and Anthony Davis’ injuries made things…

Paleontologists have identified a new species of titanosaurian dinosaur. The new species is a member of the gigantic, long-necked sauropods. Its fossil remains were recovered from Cretaceous Period (70-100 million years ago) rocks in southwestern Tanzania.

Part of the Shingopana skeleton was excavated in 2002 by scientists…

AN IMPOSING, MAJESTIC BIRD WITH A LARGE YELLOW BILL, BLACK EYES, AND SWEEPING SIDEWARDS-FACING “HORNS. MEET THE SPOT-BELLIED EAGLE-OWL In Sri Lankan folklore, a woman whose child was murdered by her husband went mad and ran off into the jungle to commit suicide.

Look no further than a traveling pride of lions. That crew is one you don’t want to mess with. They look like they mean business and have a zero-tolerance policy for nonsense. According to National Geographic, lions are known as symbols of courage and strength. Their roars can be heard from over five miles away. You can see just how intimidating they look by watching MoMedia’s YouTube video. There are about a dozen of them in the video, who appear to be mostly male because of their manes. They take up an entire road as they are recorded walking toward a…

Anne’s first steps are faltering as, slowly, she shuffles forwards, ƅack legs dragging painfully on the concrete floor, her head ƅoƅƅing nervously up and down, and ƅreath coming in loud, whooshing ƅlasts. Everything aƅout her looks tired and creaky and sore, from her arthritic joints to her dry, wrinkled skin. Her dark ƅrown eyes are weepy, her huge yellow toenails chipped and gnarled. Her tail finishes in a sad, knoƅƅly stump — the feathery end chewed off decades ago. But as she edges further across the lush green grass of her new enclosure, towards a flock of pink flamingos and…
