That's one super-sized meal!
Unfortunately I didn't have the time to stay and see. I watched it for about 15 minutes and it wasn't making much progress. I bet it did eventually though, snakes always surprise me with how large of prey items they can consume.
Wow! Cool picture! So what happened here... did the snake actually swallow the bullfrog?
