Snake regurgitates a whole hippo...wow...

Thats crazy, it almost looks like the part where he is actually regurgitating is a rewinded clip and sped up clip from when he ate it. I know its possible and they do this, just looks funny, and way too fast for me.

please tell me that was photoshopped ... what kinda snake is that ? (wow)
most likely an anaconda as stated before. My guess is based on it's appearance and it seems they are in Brazil, home of anacondas.
 
It looks like it was swallowing it, played in reverse? Can snakes even regurgitate?

Yes, see post number 18, it is very common actually.
and if you watch his jaws they have to pop back in place after he spits it out, when they are eating it pops out, unhinges, as his mouth spreads. they dont open their mouth to the width of the food before they start to eat, it is playing in the correct direction.

Yea...That was Brazil. it was an Anaconda and they are friggin awesome as you can see.

I think that was a Tapir by the way. No Hippos in the Americas.
 
the digestive acid in snakes are amazing. that snake could have probably digested that whole hippo thing. this reminds me of that south park where the kids are in costa rica and their rain forest guide get eaten & pooped out by a small snake
 
The snakes IS an Anaconda, snakes CAN regurgitate and will when they fell threatened as was explained earlier, and it was NOT a hippo. It was a Capybara. Capybara's reach large sizes and although furry, when covered in a snakes digestive fluids everything looks slimy.

Translation of the video....

"This young 6 meter long snake appeared in the Crocodile River in the __________ region of Sao Paulo. It was taken out of the water, on earth/ground she can't move due to her weight and volume in the principal parts of her body. She felt threatened and seeks to defend herself. She wants to flee, but for this to happen she must be freed of the load she carries. ....not sure...something about her only having one thing to do?..."

Then it goes silent as she regurgitates the prey
