A five-metre-long (16 feet) scrub python swallows a pet dog in this handout photo taken on February 25, 2008 by the Australian Venom Zoo in Cairns in Northern Australia, and released to Reuters on February 28, 2008. The python stalked an Australian family's dog for days before swallowing the silken-terrier chihuahua whole in front of children, local media said on February 27, 2008.

Here are some more pictures of the python, and some other animals. Some very cute polar bears, frogs, and many more, if you are interested.

I saw this incident in the news. It was pretty scary since the snake swallowed the dog while the children who owned the dog are watching. Must have given them nightmares. It's also a fact of nature, that the strong swallows the weak. ouch!
