Such a news in the media has been quite delicious. Suddenly a big porcupine appeared in front of a hungry African python. In the face of great hunger, there was nothing else for the python to do! So this huge African python swallowed the porcupine without delay.

But the four meter long python got into trouble after swallowing the porcupine. After swallowing the porcupine, the python continued to thrash. The python was in great distress after swallowing that 16 kg porcupine. What happened next to the python at South Africa's Lake Eland Game Reserve is truly tragic.

It is said in the news media that the python fell down after struggling for some time. The python died before the forest officials reached the spot.

Doctors later performed a post-mortem on the python and found that the porcupine's vertebral column had been crushed. Earlier, the national park authorities also warned tourists to beware of porcupines. But the python did not listen to the warning. So what happened happened. References: http://imgur.com
