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.

It is thought the hungry animal, which kills its prey by constricting before swallowing it whole, bit off more than it could cope with.

Full: Experts believe the python had eaten more than it could cope with and regurgitated the dog so it was able to move

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.

Regurgitation: A snake handler was on the scene to deal with the enormous reptile one it had regurgitated the dog

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.'
