by Business Insider India from July 2, 2015 about a snake in South Africa that died after eating a porcupine.
"Unusual circumstances led to the premature death of one of the world's largest species of snakes, the African rock python, on June 20," the article says. "An autopsy of the snake after it died showed that the animal inside was a 30-pound porcupine decked out with thousands of needle-sharp quills."Screenshot of the photo shared in a false context and in Business Insider India's article that the 3.9-metre snake should have been able to cope with the porcupine.
But she suspects the python became stressed from being watched by visitors fascinated by the bulge in its body -- and died when the quills got stuck as it tried to regurgitate the animal.The snake died six days after swallowing the porcupine at the private game park near Durban.
