Caught on camera: Stomach-churning moment python regurgitates fully-grown dog after biting off more than it can chew

This is the moment a huge python regurgitates a full-grown dog in front on stunned bystanders on a Bangkok street.
The snake - which appears to measure more than 12ft in length - writhes around as the large swollen mass in its stomach is slowly brought tack through its dislocated jaw.
First the dog's hind legs emerge, then the rest of its body, in the video clip filmed on the phone of an onlooker.

The entire, horrifying spectacle unfolded on Thailand's Burana district in little more than three minutes.
A snake-handler can then been seen capturing the snake at the end of the video. 
It is thought the hungry animal, which kills its prey by constricting before swallowing it whole, bit off more than it could cope with.

Unable to move with the large weight of the dog in its stomach, the snake regurgitated the dog in order to lighten its load.
Since being uploaded to YouTube and LiveLeak, the video has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times.
The event of a snake bringing back up undigested food is rarely seen but quite common in the natural world, according to experts.

Australian Reptile Park reptiles and spiders supervisor, Julie Mendezona told ninemsn: 'It seems like a typical case where the animal's eaten something, because it's hungry, but with snakes once they have eaten a large item they can't really move very well.
'All that commotion is spooking the snake and he can't get away quick enough. He's probably pretty scared at the moment, so what he's trying to do is get away.' 

Retired prison officer keeps 6ft CROCODILE in his detached bungalow... but he has to sleep in the loft so the reptile can roam free

He’s spent more than 20 years living with man-eating beasts.
This is former prison officer Chris Weller, 66, who has spent more than £25,000 making his detached bungalow in Rochester, Kent, crocodile-friendly for his seven-year-old reptile Caesar.
Mr Weller bought his 5ft 6in companion six years ago when he was less than 1ft long, and said he now enjoys reading stories, watching TV and listening to Classic FM on the radio with the crocodile.

According to police, the bikers started to damage the vehicle after the driver accidentally hit a motorcyclist.

Fearing for the safety of his wife and young child, aged under five, the SUV driver then sped off, hitting several bikers in its path.

The six-minute film shows the SUV hit another motorcyclist after it was chased by the pack of bikers.

The family are eventually brought to a standstill in Manhattan traffic and immediately bikers run to attack the vehicle, smashing the driver's window and attempting to smash the rear door window.

A child under the age of five was in the back and the driver's spouse was in the front passenger seat.

An NYPD spokesman told the Mail Online the SUV driver, a man in his 30s, was taken to hospital and treated for lacerations to his face and body.

He said there were no other injuries reported from the incident.

The bikers had been riding alongside the Range Rover before the incident. Shortly after this moment, the biker in blue jeans directly front of the car braked, it appeared the vehicle may have hit it

No one has been arrested and police are still investigating and examining the evidence, he said.

The spokesman said, according to the driver, a large number of motorcyclists were driving 'erratically' and he 'accidentally collided with one'.

The footage shows one motorcyclist brake hard in front the the car and seems to get bumped by it.

He pulled over but some of the bikers started to damage the vehicle. The NYPD spokesman told the Mail Online the driver drove off 'to avoid an impending assault'.

The video shows the Range Rover accelerate suddenly knocking over bikes and motorcyclists, driving over the top of them.

The footage was captured on a helmet camera of a motorcyclist during an annual bikers' event in New York City, at around 2pm yesterday.

The driver speeds away, but immediately the angry bikers follow it and it takes a matter of seconds for them to catch up.

The footage shows them following the vehicle for several minutes, at times getting close and intimidating the driver.

The group of bikers take Exit 14, on route 95, following signs for the Cross Bronx Expressway and passing the sign for Henry Hudson Parkway, before they traffic begins to slow.

The bikers again surround the vehicle, blocking its path and it's forced to stop.

Seizing an opportunity to confront the driver, one biker dismounts and tries to open the door, but the SUV speeds off again, knocking down at least one more motorcyclist.

The driver heads off on route 95 heading north towards the Cross Bronx Expressway, then taking the W 176 SI which leads into a built-up area with heavy traffic.

Forced to stop at traffic lights, the Range Rover comes to a standstill, and within seconds two bikers are off their vehicles and attacking the driver's side windows.

The first takes off his helmet and throws it against the driver's door window, smashing it; the second tries to punch through the rear door window, where the child was sat.

The footage then stops.

The video was posted by a biker, under the name GIXXARDR on Liveleaks, from Melbourne, Australia, this morning. He claims one biker was killed, which the police said was not true.

Already it has received numerous comments, most are in support of the Range Rover driver

One person, whose profile name is Sgt Pepper, says:  'I would do exactly the same thing. They're intimidating him and he's probably fearing for his life.'

Another, known as 'zacarra' says the driver acted in 'self defense'.

'Did you see the biker break (sic) check him in the beginning. This poor guy was running for his life from the start,' zacarra writes.

According to 'meathead12' it was 'justifiable': 'Only a fool would stick around to be pulled out of his car and lynched by 100 bikers.'

'charlesferg' says the NYC has now banned the riders' annual event.

Jonathan Alone Cannot Be Blamed For Economic Failures - Senator Enang

Following the allegations about the state of national economy raised by the new faction of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chairman of Senate Committee on Rules and Business, Ita Enang, has stated that if there was any problem with the economy, both the executive and the legislature should be held responsible.


According to senator, all political parties represented in the government at the national level, could not exonerate themselves from any possible failure of the Nigerian economy.

Enang, who represents Akwa Ibom North East on the platform of PDP, arued that since President Goodluck Jonathan always take any decisions on major economic issues to the National Assembly - that comprises representatives of different political parties and gives the president approval to carry out implementation of economic policies - he alone should not be blamed if something goes wrong in the economy.

However, Chairman of Senate Committee on Trade and Investment, Odion Ugbesia, disagreed with those claiming that the nation’s economy was facing bad time. Instead, "the economy is as it should be. It is better than what it was many years ago,” he noted.

On his part, Chairman of Senate Committee on Information, Media and Public Affairs, Enyinaya Abaribe, said the upper legislative chamber would reserve its comment on the issue pending outcome of the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) which was referred to the Committee on Finance and Appropriation.
“Why do you want the Senate to react to a reported speech from somebody else, you would have known that as at Thursday, the Medium Term Economic Framework that was sent by the government which gave a breakdown on how the whole economy is, was referred by the Senate to the Chairman of the Committee on Finance, so that they can give us their own information on what it is before we make an informed comment," he stated.

It will be recalled,that last week the new PDP faction led by Kawu Baraje blamed the Jonathan's administration for a range of grave economic problems in the country, such as wage arrears and unemployment.

Nollywood Actress Opens Up About Lesbianism In The Industry

Although not as famous as most, Actress Ejiro Okurame has been in the Nollywood movies scene for some time now.

Here is what she says about sexual immorality in the industry;

What is your view about Lesbianism in the industry?

I think it is demonic. I won’t say much about it because a lot of people are involved. The industry needs divine intervention so God can erase such people from the industry. It has eaten deep and it is affecting us.

Were you s*xually harassed as an upcoming actress?

I didn’t set myself up to be s*xually harassed.

Have you been a victim before?

Not really. I think it is when you give room for these things that they occur. I was in Abuja for a particular event when a lady asked me to sit on her laps. I was like, ‘what, sit on your laps! For what?’ I left and got my own chair.
