Can a boa eat a raccoon?

Answer 1

Some very large species of snake could, like the green and yellow anaconda, burmese python, maybe the reticulated python, and a rock python. However none of these live in Australia so the chances are slim. In November 2008, an Australian online newspaper featured a video of a python trying to eat a wallaby, which is smaller than a kangaroo. In fact, the python managed to suffocate the wallaby when it completely enclosed the upper part of the wallaby's head and body with its mouth. However, when the size of the wallaby proved to be too much, the python began to regurgitate it. See link for the article below (depending on how long it stays current).

Answer 2

Tiger snakes are venomous snakes measuring up to about 2 meters, or 6 feet. They eat small prey. Kangaroos are too large for them to swallow. However, if a kangaroo was going to step on a tiger snake, it might bite the kangaroo. Tiger snakes have a very potent venom that would kill a kangaroo.

Answer 3

No. Kangaroos are herbivores, primarily eating grass and other vegetation. Besides grass, they eat young shoots and tender leaves of native shrubs. They enjoy grains as well, but being herbivorous, they do not eat any other animals.

Tree kangaroos eat leaves, and sometimes fruit.

Smaller varieties of kangaroos such as the musky-rat kangaroo are omnivores, eating fruits, seeds, fungi insect larvae and small invertebrates such as grasshoppers and beetles. They do not eat snakes.

Answer 4

Any hungry snake within striking distance of a kangaroo rat.

Answer 5
