This is a Burmese Python scanned before ingesting a rat and then at two, 16, 24, 32, 48, 72 and 132 hours after dinner. The succession of images reveals a gradual disappearance of the rat’s body, accompanied by an overall expansion of the snake’s intestine, shrinking of the gallbladder and a 25 percent increase in heart volume.
