Python Swallows Fox Alive in Jharkhand, India
A big snake called a python ate a fox in a village in India.
People saw it happen and took videos.
Pythons can eat animals much bigger than their heads because their bodies can stretch a lot.
They have special jaws and skin that help them swallow and digest big meals.
This is similar to how they can eat animals like deer and calves.
The snake eats the animal and breaks it down over several days.
