Python filmed dragging possum prey up tree in Australia #shorts

How crazy is this right we’re just around the corner from my house we always do this Loop through here around the blocks with our dogs and if you pan up here you can actually see probably a 5T carpet P has grabbed the pum in the tree but now he’s kind of just hanging

On for deal life from both ends so it’s hard probably to see in the in the zoom but basically he’s got the end of his tail and we mean like the tip of his tail around the branch just holding on to his body weight and obviously the

Weight of the pum which is in his mouth but as you can see literally Holding On by a couple of teeth so yeah he’s probably in two minds here he’s probably like right how long can I hang out like this until I drop with the possum it’s

Quite a long drop onto the uh hopefully on the grass you might hit the actual um

A five-foot carpet python struggled to pull a possum into a tree in a suburban backyard in Buderim, Queensland, as a professional snake catcher watched on in amazement.

Stuart McKenzie of Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 said he was walking his dogs near his home in Buderim when he saw the python struggle to pull a possum into a tree.

McKenzie said the python had been hanging from the tree for at least nine hours. He compared the scene to watching a carpet python try to do reps in the gym.

McKenzie shared the footage to Facebook and theorized that the snake was unable to release the possum due to the weight and downwards force on its teeth.

McKenzie came back to the tree 12 hours after the snake and possum were first spotted and used a pool scoop “to help the snake lift it up into the tree.”

“However as soon as I took the weight of the possum with the pool scoop the snake wiggled its head off the possum and dropped it. The snake looked very relieved. Weird but fascinating situation,” he said.
