What Was Discovered in the Belly of This Gigantic Snake Will Surprise You

This snake was killed by some Nigerian villages

Villages  who killed the huge snake after suspecting it of having eaten a calf because of its swollen stomach discovered it was pregnant with dozens of eggs.

Snake had been killed over accusations it had been feasting on farmers’ livestock.

However as these images show, the snake was not overweight because of its last meal, it was actually pregnant.

After being cut open, dozens of eggs were found and removed by locals who regard them as a rare delicacy. 

Although it was not clear what sort of snake it was, many snakes can produce up to 100 eggs at a time.

The locals and online commentor seem to have little sympathy with the snake, with most pointing out that it was a good thing that around a hundred baby snakes would no longer be born.

Judging by the size of the snake, which appears to be almost a foot wide and several metres long, it looks like an anaconda. 

But with the species of anaconda restricted to South America, it is likely the pictured snake is an African rock python.
