I'm sure some of you have seen these pics before, but I thought I'd share with those who haven't. I got these pics in an email a while ago, I reckon they're a great example of a python's ability to eat prey items much larger than themselves. The pics were apparently taken at Cooyar, west of...

Hey guys, Last night I came across a pretty cool blog titled WA Zoologist. It covers a wide variety of fauna but seems to have a few good reads on reptiles of WA, and other species too. His pictures are also excellent, and even some videos too. If this is old news or a repost I apologise...

Unfortunately I didn't take these pics, wish I had, I'm waiting for more details but I do know these photos were taken over a 5 hour period.
