This giant snake obviously did not expect that a porcupine he decided to eat would be its last meal. The 13,6kg rodent fought to the last and even after beign swallowed by a giant python he punctured its insides with razor-sharp quills that killed the snake. The body of a bloated animal was found by a mountain biker who later reported it to the reserve general manager Jennifer Fuller.Commenting on the incident she said: “The exact reasons for the snake’s death are not clear. It is apparent that several porcupine quills were lodged inside the digestive tract. It had fallen off the rocky ledge. We don’t know if it died beforehand or whether the fall drove some of the quills into its digestive tract.”
