People are scared when they see pythons devouring prey at the bedroom door

In Townsville, Queensland, Australia, a large python measuring over 2 meters in length shocked locals when it devoured a helpless possum outside a bedroom window. While wild animals sneaking into homes or lurking around in rural areas have become nightmares for those living in the countryside, even city dwellers can witness horrifying scenes such as this.

Recently, a man named David Reynolds recorded the terrifying moment when he discovered the python eating its prey – a juicy possum – outside his bedroom window in Townsville, Queensland. When he opened the back window of his house on Friday morning, he came face to face with the giant reptile enjoying its fresh meal in his backyard. It was an unexpected and frightening sight to find such a terrifying creature in his garden, particularly while it was indulging in its meal.

David recounted that the python took approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes to swallow the possum whole. The python hung suspended on a branch, leisurely enjoying its meal, but its heavy body made it difficult to move quickly.

After taking a 30-minute rest on the tree trunk, the python eventually slithered away into the garden. Residents in the area are now concerned about their beloved pets, including cats and other domesticated animals, potentially becoming the python’s next prey.

Although Australia is famous for its unique and diverse wildlife, some creatures, such as the python, can instill fear in humans. This incident serves as a reminder to remain vigilant and cautious, even in the city, as we share our environment with the incredible wildlife of Australia.
