Some info on the snake in question, courtesy
Wikipedia
Quote:
The African rock python kills its prey by constriction and often eats animals up to the size of antelope, occasionally even crocodiles. The snake reproduces by egg-laying. Unlike most snakes, the female will protect her nest and sometimes even her hatchlings.
The snake is widely feared even though it only very rarely kills humans. Although the snake is not endangered, it does face threats from habitat reduction and hunting.
Weights are reportedly in the range of 44 to 55 kg (97 to 120 lb)...

Plenty of pics/vids of this snake swallowing entire antelope, so if this did happen I suppose we're fortunate to not be faced with the horrifying prospect of the snake having swallowed one of them.
