We spotted this case of “eyes bigger than your stomach” over at I Fucking Love Science. Researchers on the island of Golem Grad, Macedonia found a nose-horned viper with its prey, a centipede, bursting out of its stomach.

The centipede measured in at 84% the snake's length (not including the head), 112% its width, and 114% its total weight.

But wait, it gets even more horrifying. Upon full dissection of the snake to remove the centipede, they discovered that all of the snakes’ innards were missing. Yup, it appears that the centipede may have been eating his way out of the snake while the snake was eating it.
I think we can rule this encounter a draw.
Just be cause he is dead doesn't necessarily mean that snake isn't dangerous. Did you know that snakes can deliver a bite up to an hour after they have died.
