In 3D: almost the largest, but certainly the strongest

In 3D: almost the largest, but certainly the strongest This kind python can unhook his jaw and swallow a quite sizeable prey. It does not have to bite as the muscles will just flatten the subject first. Only the anaconda matches this snake in length yet the anaconda is thicker. It beats the anaconda in strength. 7 to 9 meters! Wow its as long as a house is high! I only did a headshot of its quite massive head (the size does not show in this picture:)), because of the nice strangely green colours it had, and look at those captivating eyes!

    It indeed looks 3D, like it comes off the screen. Very nice!
