Some 20 years ago I watched a news item about a huge python found dead beside a North Queensland road. The snake had a large bulge in its belly which a post mortem revealed to be a small wallaby. Informed opinion speculated the wallaby was alive and kicking (emphasis on kicking) after being swallowed and all the internal turbulence brought about the python’s demise. Talk about a kick in the guts.
