5. Snaked At Burleigh
5. Snaked At Burleigh
Not willing to be undone by a venomous counterpart in NSW, a Gold Coast constrictor got in on the snake scare act at Burleigh, one of the most famous surf spots in Australia, later in the very same ‘arvo’ as the brown snake incident at Forster.
This wasn’t the first python gnarl of the New Year on the Goldie, neither. Police had warned Gold Coasters after large pythons had eaten a guinea pig and a cat recently.
(In all fairness, the cat probably deserved it…)
Not having the poisonous fangs of smaller snakes, these dudes instead crush prey to death by constricting every time the poor animal breaths in, suffocating it, before swallowing it whole.
Cute!
