PYTHON WALKS ON LEASH, Grabs and Eats a Wild Squirrel!
Python walks on leash like a dog. Finds a squirrel.
Snakes are lovable members of the family. ❤
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 23, 2017 of a diamond python (Morelia spilota spilota) x carpet jungle python (Morelia spilota cheynei) eating a squirrel.
These semi arboreal snakes found in Australia are strictly carnivorous. They feed on birds, rodents, and small rabbits.
Video shows the “transport cycle” to get the squirrel into the python's throat. Called a pterygoid walk, the snake opens its jaw and alternately ratchets its upper jaw with its two rows of teeth over the bird, in turn “walking” its mouth across it.
This video focuses on the science of snake behavior and anatomy to support a master's thesis. Video is for citation for junior high school, high school science reports.
A snake's lower jaw is not joined at the front by a rigid symphysis as mammal jaws are, but by an elastic ligament 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 small fluffy prey such as this squirrel
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.
