Photo taken by photographer: Python devours giant bat: wringing its prey like a towel

According to foreign media reports, photographer Ryan Francis recently photographed the amazing scene of a giant carpet Python devouring a black fox near the Meola spring on North stradbrock island. This year, photographers have repeatedly photographed the python hunting fox bats. Every time it falls into the Python's clutches, the fox bats are always doomed.

Ryan Francis, 28, an ecologist and photographer, recently photographed a giant carpet Python devouring black foxes on a tourist trestle near the Meola spring on North stradbrock island. At that time, the black fox bat was dead and half of its body was poked out of the Python's mouth.

Francis said: 'this carpet Python is hanging upside down from the fig tree to capture the black fox bat. It rarely grasps its prey and moves so far. The python is about 2.2 meters long and took about 5 to 10 minutes to devour the fox bat. In early November, Francis photographed this saltwater crocodile on the northernmost Cape York Peninsula in Queensland.

When boa constrictor catches prey, it will wring it tightly until it loses its activity. This is not the first time Francis has captured this natural wonder with his camera. He also photographed the Murray Darling carpet Python in Felton, Queensland, earlier this month. In October, he photographed this red and blue spiny lobster by a mountain spring in Mount Lewis, north of Queensland.

In February, in Darwin nature park, Lois Keane saw a carpet Python devouring black foxes.

Keane exclaimed: 'it's a great meal. As far as I know, some boa constrictors, such as the olive python, can swallow the sand kangaroo in one bite. '

The carpet Python uses all its strength to wring the fox bat tightly, wring its whole body like a towel, and swallowing its prey when it is dying.

In July this year, Millie Stovring from Nusa, Queensland, Australia, and her boyfriend Sean tuelle also captured the amazing scene of a giant python devouring a black bat in their backyard.

As can be seen from the picture, the bat's wing is still poking out of the Python's chin in an attempt to escape.

Millie Stovring and Sean tuelle were stunned by the scene of boa constrictor hunting in the backyard.
