PYTHON HAS COCKATOO FOR DINNER

I have a blogger friend, Cindy, who lives in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. Cindy is an artist and photographer. The other night she heard a squawking and commotion in her back yard, so she went to investigate. This is what she saw and photographed...........

....a python has caught a cockatoo for dinner. It coils around the bird and crushes it.
Then opens its jaws, which are not joined so they can expand to an enormous size........ ...and then the python starts to swallow the bird whole.
Squeeze and swallow.
Beak, bones and feathers and all.
Nearly all gone.
The last feather.
Oh, yum, that was hard work but delicious.
My belly is full.
Now lets go and snooze for a week until this has digested.
Here I come....ssssssssssssCindy for dessert, camera and all.
Cindy took 63 shots and the media was very interested. Read more on her blog at http://www.artistsblog.com.au/
Thank you Cindy for allowing me to use your photos on my blog.
