Mille Stoevring and Shane Tuer, a couple, found a giant python about 3m long hanging from a tree and trying to swallow a snake in their backyard at Sunshine Beach near Noosa, Queensland, Australia.
The 3m long python hung from a tree branch and tried to swallow the giant bat.
When the Australian couple discovered it, the python had swallowed almost the entire bat, leaving only the long black wing. However, it took more than 30 minutes for the python to fully swallow its prey .
