Scientists have captured a Burmese python swallowing a deer whole in Florida's Everglades, challenging previous beliefs about its physical limits. The 14.8-foot-long female snake weighed 52 kg and consumed the 35-kg white-tailed deer, almost 67% of its mass. Researchers observed the incident and measured the python's maximum gape at 10.2 inches (26 cm), exceeding previous estimates.
