It's probably not the best idea to swallow a porcupine in most cases.
在任何时候，任何生物吞食箭猪，都不像个好主意。

A giant python had to experience this firsthand.
一条巨蟒曾这样做了。

A cyclist , who was on the road in a nature reserve in South Africa, discovered this strange snake.
一个人在南非的自然保护区骑自行车时，发现了一条奇怪的蛇。

He told the rangers. No one could imagine what the snake might have eaten.
他告诉了巡林员这件事。没人能想象到这条蛇吞了什么。

But it really looked like a big prey. One guessed a small warthog or something similar.
但它真的很像吞了什么巨大的猎食者，有人猜是疣猪，或者是什么类似的生物。

Less than a week later, this giant snake died.
不出一周，这条巨蟒死了。

It was opened and found that it had swallowed a 15 kilo porcupine.
人们将它解刨发现，它吞了一头15公斤的箭猪。

The snake itself was barely 4 meters long.
巨蟒本身是罕见的4米身长。

Her intestines had been literally shredded by the spikes. The body had tried to digest the spines, but it was futile.
她的肠道被箭直接扎碎了，她的身体试图消化这些箭，但是徒劳无功。

A published study from 2003 shows that the spines of such an animal can pierce any part of a snake's body.
一个2003年的文献记录，箭猪身上的箭可以刺穿蛇类身体的任何角落。

However, one is not quite sure what exactly caused the death of the snake.
然而，没有人确定是什么直接造成了巨蟒的死亡。

After all, it seems to have fallen off a ledge. No wonder, being so full of food.
毕竟，它更像是从悬崖峭壁摔落而死，带着被箭猪撑大的肚子。

And then the spikes in its belly could have bored into its guts from the impact.
然后它胃里的箭收到冲击，撕破了它的身体。

And why would a snake be dumb enough to eat a porcupine? I suppose it's like us sometimes: hunger drives it in.
但是，为什么一条巨蟒会饿到去吃箭猪呢？我猜测就像我们有时候一样：饥饿驱使罢了。
