Pregnant Snake
Locals in Nigeria killed a huge snake after suspecting it of having eaten a calf because of its swollen stomach discovered it was pregnant with dozens of eggs
This is just a python eating

I agree with hagrid

That kind of makes me sad though..
TedCunterblast
I'm sure it'll make a great mum

Would it have saved the dead calf?
ThiccBear
No, but in these more rural places it's probably best to kill things that threaten livestock.
Carefuler
No, but it might have saved the still live ones. Predators often kill competing predators.
SanSamis
No, but it would have given his family a sense of closure.
uhohgreg
Nobody else is gonna talk about how he's putting those eggs in a cooking pot? Ok, moving on then
SaltCollector
Why? Either it's just being used as a container or they gunna get eaten. Don't really care either way.

Thats enough omlets to feed a small village

So I expect a rifle and flamethrower the moment I step into Nigeria. Burn it with an Exterminatus.

What you're saying is that the world is more terrifying than I thought? Thanks for the nightmares.

"So, we thought you ate our calf, but turned out that you were just preagnant. Whoops, eh?"
Luthasox
Am I.... PREGANANT?!
Howdoilife
What was the actual plan here for them I wonder? Did they think they'd get a live calf back? Poor snek and snek babies.

The eggs are a delicacy there, so they were probably happy with this outcome
PrincessWasabi
As scary as a snake of that size can be, I can't help but feel some sympathy as well
Chaseticles92
I'm curious, when it's that pregnant... does it still eat? Where does it even have room for the food?
Spotaholic
Generally gravid reptiles either don't eat or eat very little while gravid. Snakes this large don't eat very often to begin with.
Chaseticles92
Gravid. Learned a new word today. Thxxx
DinoKebab
Is it going to be okay?
ThiccBear
The snake was killed. It was likely dead before they cut it open.
DinoKebab
O rly?
ThiccBear
Yeah, they probably killed it before they cut it open. Can't imagine them fighting the thing while cutting it open.
RaynWisp
I wonder if the eggs are mature enough to hatch... also, this big ass python had sex and I find the image of that disturbing.
kehlee
The eggs develop into ready-to-lay eggs inside the snake. Once laid, the embryos develop into little snakes and pop out of the eggs.
dervdaperv
Apparently the eggs are a delicacy there and they just ate them.

And snakes have hemipenes!!

Are you not down with BBP?

Yeah, you know me.

No different than your mom ;)

True, they're both dead and died while pregnant.

Gravid. Pregnant implies live birth while gravid is the term used for egg-layers.
GodLikeButHumble
TIL.
whatisimgurallabout
Gravid - pregnant; carrying eggs or young. It is used medically to state how many times a female has been pregnant.
prettierandyoungerbutnotanybetteroff
Was gonna say, if you think it's just for egg-layers you're gonna have a bad time looking at the OB part of medical charts xD.

Cool knowledge. I enjoy all your commenters as well.

This one's seal is broken, so I suppose we still haven't seen a pregnant or a gravid African rock lobster python!
doctorbees
Oviparous is another term for egg-laying.
ihavesomuchdawwtogive
Well, thank you for that. I don't believe I had ever heard this term before now. +1 for learnin'!
Upstartpotato
Gravy also goes good with gravid eggs.

I called a classmate an egg-layer in middle school and got myself kicked in the shin
madetheaccountjustforyou
Thanks for that tidbit of information that no one will EVER use and still manage to communicate just fine.

Don't some snakes hatch the eggs inside their bodies and have "live" birth instead?
Sharecrow
Funny. The Norwegian word for pregnant is "gravid".
potatzsche
In portuguese is "Grávida".

Same for Romanian, with an " ã " at the end

So was this a c-section?
Barkinsons
If the mother dies (on purpose) you call is a sectio brutalis and not sectio caesarea. It's a b-section.
ROHBAUCOP
I was not aware there was a word for this. Goddamnit!
iarecow
Think it was an s-section, but what do I know? I'm just a cow. Moo

Your opinion is moo.
IfmynameisDICKdoesthatmakemeNSFW
A sssssssssseee section
ryukochan
Yep. The snake is in recovery and doing fine. All 362 children are healthy and delicio- I mean doing fine.

Mmmmm..... gravied python.

You wouldn't lie to me on the internet on this specific topic, would you?
SublimeMacrocosmicMalevolence
Ha, you're not fooling me! You just plan to grow an army of Duracell-cosplayers like you, don't you now :o

Can't you just let me have this one evil scheme? Once we take out the Energizer Bunny, the world will be ours!

I guess I'll have to allow that, probably not wise to oppose someone who was dead set on becoming an android at the quite mature age of 3
