Python is a large heavy-bodied-non-venomous snake occurring throughout the Old World Tropics, killing prey by constriction and asphyxiation. Porcupines are large rodents with defensive spines or quills on the body and tail.

When a Porcupine feels threatened, it will raise its quills in a defensive nature, which would then penetrate the skin of the attacker with the barbs holding the quill in the attacker’s skin.

Whenever this happens, the quill will release from the porcupine’s body and stay attached to the attacker.

Yes, the attacker would pass through so much pain and begin to regret decisions taken. Whenever a snake eats a Porcupine, it will regret it later.

This Snake probably didn’t think of that or didn’t know the defense mechanism of the Porcupine because if it had known, it definitely would not have attacked it in the first place.

Some Pythons choke to death as a result of eating a Porcupine. This Python would have thought the Porcupine was its everyday prey.

Snakes most likely die after eating a Porcupine because the indigestible quills pierce through the digestive tract of the snake before the piercing becomes visible on the body.

After the Python ate the Porcupine, the quills of the Porcupine are not digestible, therefore they are left in the snake’s gut. The indigestible quills, with very sharp edges, then pierced all the way through the snake’s body. 

This python moved in its normal serpentine movement around itself with the indigestible quills of the Porcupine extending all through its body.

People gathered around the Python with their phones out, to make videos of the snake in pain regretting its decision. 

A street dog was around where the Python was and continued barking as it would normally do because it felt threatened by the presence of the Python.

The Python with quills kept circling its body as it could not move any further, paying its attention to the dog barking and the people around watching and making videos.
