Snake Eats Ewe, Can't Slither On Home...

So other than the obvious "Ewwwwwwww" that this picture inspires, I continue to be amazed by what big snakes are able to eat... We all remember the snake vs. aligator showdown last year, and I've gotten other pics of a snake eating a kangaroo...
This one helped itself to a pregnant ewe - that's "Female Sheep" for you non-zoologists - and after eating it, was so weighed down and/or overstuffed, that it couldn't move, which made it easy for the local firefighters to capture it. Not sure what they did with it after catching it though... Also not sure if the given weight of 198.5 pounds includes the pregnant ewe or not. This all took place in Kampung Jabor, Malaysia.
