A huge Burmese python in the Florida Everglades devours three deer over 90 days

A massive Burmese python in the Florida Everglades swallowed three deer(a doe and two fawns) over a period of 90 days. It was native to South East Asia but is an introduced species in Florida and its length was nearly 16-feet and it weighed 105 pounds.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 4 December 2016.

Burmese pythons kill by wrapping their massive bodies around their prey and squeezing them to death. This particular demale reptile was caught and euthanized on June 3, 2013. Subsequently, after cutting it open, researchers discovered 14 pounds of fecal matter that contained hair, bones, teeth and hooves inside the snake's intestine.
Examining the undigested remains, experts concluded that it appeared as though the doe and fawns would have been aged about one-year, one-month, and two weeks old. The python was probably hiding out in the water when it attacked the three animals. When the animals came to the water to drink, the powerful snake would have sprung into action.
