Giant python, one of the world's largest snake-sized reptiles, has extremely sharp hunting capabilities. Although not possessing large fangs like lions, but the ability of 'killer' of giant python is considered to be no less than the lord of the lord.

Like other beasts, pythons hunt by hiding themselves to take prey. They can hang on trees, hidden under the leaves of trees, but their favorite way of hiding is to dive in natural lakes, because every animal needs to drink water.

There is no strong jaw muscles to chew, but giant stone pythons have the ability to swallow prey. To do this, after snatching away with a quick bite, python must curl around the prey and use super strong muscles on the body to squeeze and crush the prey bone before swallowing.

The jaw bone of the python is specially designed to separate the upper jaw and lower jaw, making the python mouth 3 times larger than normal. When swallowing antelope or any creature, python must be swallowed from the first part. With the meal is this antelope, python will rest for about 1 year, digest all the flesh of the prey before releasing undigested parts like bones, horns, hooves .
