There was a photo in the news a few days ago of a snake which had burst while trying to eat an alligator. Talk about your eyes being bigger than your stomach.

Yikes, that's downright spooky. Wouldn't want to be caught with one of those wrapped around my body.

Mod edit: Photos deleted. We really don't need to see that here.

well.... kangaroos really are just larger versions of rats and mice--similar family... so don't feel so bad.

That's actually why they eat animals whole -- so they don't have to eat again for a while.

Huh? Apart from them all being mammals, kangaroos and rodents are totally different families. In fact, they couldn't be farther apart since the mammalian tree diverges directly into marsupial and placental branches. Humans are more similar to rats and mice than kangaroos are.

Could it be from the old Sylvester the cat cartoon where he keeps getting beat up by what he believes to be a huge mouse but is actually a boxing kangaroo which humiliates him in front of his son?

Plus there is a rodent called a kangaroo rat.
