Snake eats possum while hanging upside down from tree in Queensland

One minute a possum was settling in for an afternoon nap. The next it was staring head first down the belly of a 3m python.

Photographer Jasmine Kerr captured the moment a coastal carpet python digested a possum on her family’s horse property at Gunalda near Gympie on Wednesday.

Ms Kerr was moving horses with her family about 2pm when something caught her eye.

She’s no stranger to snakes, but this was something she’d never seen before.

We were just coming out of our driveway. I own snakes so it wasn’t too horrifying for me, but my mum crapped herself, she said.

It would’ve taken him probably 25 to 30 minutes to eat the whole possum.

I never see wild snakes and you especially don’t see them eating — via redwolf.newsvine.com

You might love the records or you might simply appreciate the designs, either way these record label and album cotton bags at Ace Records are a great thing to own. The bags feature designs of either classic labels featured in the Ace Records catalogue or equally classic compilation albums, taking in everything from early R&B, soul and jazz through to early punk and of course, much in-between. Checking all the range out is the best thing you can do. If you see one that’s ideal for carrying round your long players (or a small top-up shop), you can buy any of the designs for £10 — via Retro To Go

These pictures from the Zao Kitsune (Fox) Village were posted by Twitter user @yasaka_amam, and they capture the gorgeous creatures in all their fluffy glory. I don’t know quite how close the foxes actually let you get to them, but I would just love to bury my face in those silky red coats. And maybe take one home with me. Or a whole leash of them, which is apparently the collective noun for foxes — via RocketNews24
