A snake decides to have a porcupine for dinner and wow, was that a mistake

This python found put too late some food just ain't worth it

This must be the wildlife version of that potentially lethal delicacy that's so tasty to some humans, they're willing to risk it all for a bite.

Most of us wouldn't dare, but there are some brave souls who find dishes like the pufferfish, blood clams, and elderberries—-all foods that could end a human's life in a heartbeat if not properly prepared—-appetizing, somehow.

The porcupine, one would imagine, has to be on the animal version of that list. Weighing in at a not so paltry 20-60 pounds, the porcupine is covered in spines or quills that can grow to nearly a foot in length. And they have backward facing barbs that lock into place like anchors when they pierce something.

That doesn't exactly spell good (or safe) eatin,' a lesson this 13-foot African Rock Python learned far too late when it died after a porcupine's quills punctured its stomach.
