Search Anaconda Regurgitates A Hippo on youtube.

That is obviously a capybara, a large south American rodent and staple food for anacondas. Hippos, of course, are not even found in South America! Even if they were, that animal is too small for even a baby hippo.

My snakes aren't fat, they're big boned.

The Video is very hard to distinguish what kind of animals are involved. My thoughts are this though Anaconda (South America) Hippo (Africa) so I think it is a case of mistaken identity. Either it is an Anaconda and the prey is probably a Capibara which would probably be it's normal native prey. It could be a African python like a Rock and a Baby Hippo. Like I said though the video is not clear enough to really tell. Interesting Video though, Thanks.

True, one of the animals has to be mislabled. I wasn't really concerned about what the prey actually is, just interesting to see such a large prey item being regurged. I don't know why they didn't just let the snake be. Maybe someone was missing and they wanted to see if it was a human in the stomach of the beast?

There is a place now on our posts where you can link to a youtube video.
