| You think its real Gnomey? Christ, if the cow is 3ft long (lets conservatively assume that it is a calf), then 20+ft of snake shows. And it doesn't look like the tail is even close to where the picture is cropped!

| If it isn't real it is a well doctored photo...

| Certainly looks real. Can't be a full size cow though. The d@mn snake would be the double for the Harry Potter Slitherin mascot.

| Thats a nice sized Python. They have been known to eat small cows and similar animals. I would say its probably real.

| Fortunately the only snakes we have down here run around in suits and ties, we call them Lawyers.

|  Only time snakes scare me is when I don't know they are there. That bloody snake would scare me from a football field away.

| i'll wager that's not a cow but a smaller mamal, and whatever it is would've drowned to death by falling into the hole first..........

| It looks like a cow to me... Rural cows from South America/Africa/Indian Sub continent are generally smaller than the ones we have (and know) so it probably is one...

| It is not real. I know quite a bit about snakes. I used to have several as pets. I only have one now and as a matter of fact my python is coiled up right next to me right now it its terrarium in my house. Granted my python is only about 5ft long right now and will only grow about another foot. First of all a snake can not eat an animal when it is facing downward like that. It has to tilt its head and body back and use its ribs and muscles to squish the prey down its throat along with the help of gravity. Second look for the tail of the snake. Do you see it? No it is blended in with the rock face. Below are some pics of my python eating. These pics were taken about a while back when it was eating mice. Now she is eating small rats.

| I also thought this was funny by the way. I have this picture posted next to the cage that I keep the future food in.
