These snakes can swallow such large prey thanks to a set of highly flexible jaws, a trait they share with several other snake species. Occasionally, even humans are on the menu: there are several accounts of African rock pythons attacking and even partially consuming people. Like Burmese pythons, Central African rock pythons can gulp down sizable prey including antelope and crocodiles. These pythons average around 9.8 to 16.5 feet (3 to 5 m) long, according to Animal Diversity Web (ADW).

It is the world’s longest snake.” Sending shivers down the spine, the video shows an enormous snake slithering into a house. The video, which grasped all the attention on Twitter, was shared by a page called Science Girl with the caption, “The reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus) is a python species native to South and Southeast Asia. While anaconda is counted among the deadliest snakes in terms of size and other traits, a look at a viral video of a reticulated python will make your skin crawl. This specific species of python is native to South and Southeast Asia. However, that is not correct as the title for the longest snake in the world is currently held by reticulated pythons. If you are a Hollywood fan, you might think that anacondas are the longest and the deadliest snake on this planet, thanks to movies like the Anaconda franchise and Lake Placid vs Anaconda.
