that cameraman got owned
yeah, looks like an olive python
this pic was floating around and everyone claimed that the animal was a watter buffalo (which would make the snake about 60 feet long). I think it's a wallaby.

Fer sure a wallaby. Olive pythons & water buffs are found on different continents. Minor facts like that seem to matter little to the originators of such twaddle.
Good call, Tom. I saw that film clip a few hours before it was posted here, & thought it was an amethystine. Close, but no cigar.

Water Buffalos although not native to Australia are found there as feral bovines....TC

...Of that video floating around of the anaconda regurgitating a "hippo" (actually a Brazilian Tapir, less than 10% the size of a hippopotamus).

I saw that last week and thought it was a patternless burm, or possibly African Rock, too. I was quite puzzled. Didn't realize Olives got that big. Awesome snake.

Tom: That's worse than having feral cats, fer sure.
Ryan: I thought the head was too small for it to be anything other than one of the pythons from Down Under.

Just curious, what in that video actually indicates that the snake is huge?
I see it as someone holding a camera real close to a 3-6 foot long snake. Looking at the size of the water drips in the beginning, and the cracks in the ground, it doesnt seem like it could be all that big.
