A recent viral video captured the chilling moment a coastal carpet python attempted to prey on a brush-tailed possum in Australia.
The disturbing footage, shared by the Instagram account Nature is Metal, shows the python dangling precariously from the roof of a women’s restroom, its powerful coils wrapped around the unfortunate possum.
With a determined grip around the possum’s neck, the python struggles to swallow its prey. Despite its powerful constricting abilities, the possum proves too large for the reptile to handle in its current position. In a dramatic twist, the python loses its grip and the possum plummets to the ground below.
The video, which has garnered over 185,000 likes on Instagram, offers a stark glimpse into the harsh reality of nature’s food chain. While many viewers found the footage disturbing, it also serves as a reminder of the intricate balance and brutal efficiency of the animal kingdom.
The caption of the post reads, “Coastal carpet python pulling up on a brush tailed possum in the middle of the women’s toilets, at an undisclosed campground near Wivenhoe, QLD Australia…”
