That second one looks like he found a dead roo in the water and is trying to get a free feed.
When I lived in the Kimberelys an old fellah just out of town had a few goats and saw a great big rock python had swallowed one of his goats, story went he shot it with his double barrel and cut the goat out and it survived.
Not sure about that though, because I thought they crushed the life out of their prey first, then swallowed it.
Anyway, great pics.

There a no such animals called a rock python in Australia. I have kept snakes and pythons for over 15 years and still do keep pythons.
In the Kimberly you will se Olive pythons that can be large, but not large enough to eat an adult goat or roo, but they could eat a very young baby, but unlikely they could catch one. They could really only eat nothing bigger than the size of an adult cat.
There are more myths about snakes and pythons then there are about Unicorns.
