15-foot-long snake swallows a cow whole in terrifying footage
A predatory Burmese python swallowed a cow before its stomach swelled so badly that it exploded and died.
The 15-foot-long python slithered through grassy pastures as it attacked two-year-old cattle in Thailand’s northern Phitsanulok province on August 21.
The farmer who was searching for the lost cow, which had disappeared three days ago, was shocked when he found the huge snake instead.
The footage shows the python sprawled out on the tall grass with its taut stomach open.
“The snake must have been hungry and saw the cow,” said village official Neron Liwatanakul. “Then he strangled the cow to kill it before swallowing its whole body.”
“However, after the cow died inside the snake, its body became swollen and the stomach of the snake stretched even more. It was a frightening sight.”

The snake, estimated to be eight years old, eventually died of a ruptured stomach before it could digest the dead cow.
After being examined by the authorities, the animals were cremated and buried in the vacant lot.
No other animals have been reported to have been attacked by the python.
