at first glance the answer seems obvious - kangaroo. he would certainly be the betting favorite no doubt. but let's not be so quick to dismiss the python
right off the bat, you can never count out poisons. everybody knows pythons have some of the most lethal poisons in the snake kingdom. that's mama nature's version of the 'puncher's chance' - one lucky bite and it's all over, the kangaroo will die from supreme poisons overdose (SPO). but that isn't the python's only means to a W in this bout. python has a very low center of gravity and is a difficult target to hit clean, kangaroo's best weapon (drop kicks) are simply useless in this bout. stomps are an option but not nearly as powerful as its missile toe drop kick. the kangaroo's boxing would also be nullified because he'd have to basically punch the ground, any boxer worth his salt knows you never punch downward, lose all your power that way
the more i think about it, the more i think the python really surprises people in this one. i see it wrapping around a leg and cutting off circulation. meanwhile the kangaroo is clawing at it but the python's skin is no joke, made of tuff stuff. python then goes for a lethal bite and from that point on its countdown to death by supreme poisons overdose (SPO)
Pythons are nonvenomous constrictors just like Boa's. I thought everybody knew this.
Anyway, the Python is being counted out here. Their teeth are curved inward like hooks, so if a Python bites, it's hard to get it off unless you are willing to pull it's mouth away from your body, which would only cause it to tear a good piece out of you and be extremely painful. Once they bite, they are basically locked onto you. If the kangaroo had some rubbing alcohol then it would easily get the snake off, too bad kangaroos don't know how to use that, though. Sticking your hand in the Pythons mouth to get it off won't work, either, it will just bite again.
The Kangaroo can definitely tear the Python's mouth away from their body, they are very, very powerful, but as soon as a Python strikes, it immediately wraps around part of you and once they do that, it's incredibly hard to get them off of you. Once they wrap around you, it's like they're literally stuck to you and it doesn't really matter how strong you are. These snakes are capable of taking down very large prey with their ability to strike very quickly and wrap around you very quickly. It's like once a submission is locked in perfectly, your muscles no longer help you because it's overextended and the only thing left to rely on is bone and it's only a matter of time before it's broken. Pythons have taken tons of large prey, larger, stronger and far more dangerous than kangaroos and they have taken out many kangaroos very, very easily in the wild.
Burmese Python's are capable of reaching a max of 23 feet, making it one of the largest species of snake in the world. So, the people talking about the Kangaroo simply ripping it in half, yeah, I don't think so. That Python would strike quick and wrap around the Kangaroo in seconds and squeeze him to death. It would would squeeze the Kangaroo and make him like toothpaste. Python's are very strong animals.
Pythons have already killed kangaroos, I don't know about the other way around, though. You can actually go look up videos on YouTube of a python crushing and swallowing a kangaroo. There has been quite a few cases of pythons killing kangaroos very easily in Australia.
Go do some research on it, guys. Kangaroos are bad ass but the python wins almost every time. The kangaroo doesn't know how to stop a full grown python from striking so quickly and coiling around its body and crushing him to death.
Look it up. There are videos all over the internet and first hand accounts from witnesses who have seen pythons take out kangaroos like they were easy prey.
Pythons win this. Go do some research, kids.
