Eight strong men, forcibly feeding a 26 foot python
8 strong men were required to forcibly feed a 26 foot python when it was brought from its winter quarters at Hamilton, Ontario. It cannot eat during the three months before and his first meal consisted of 20 pounds of hamburger, two dozen acres, a quart of six citrate of magnosia, and a quart of olive oil.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo captures a remarkable moment in history, as eight strong men gather to feed a colossal 26-foot python. The scene unfolds at Hamilton, Ontario, where the python has just emerged from its winter quarters. Due to its unique dietary needs, it is unable to eat for three months prior to this feeding event. The task at hand requires an extraordinary level of strength and coordination, as the men work together to ensure the python receives its first meal after a long period of fasting. With great determination, they force-feed the massive serpent with 20 pounds of hamburger meat, two dozen acres (presumably eggs), a quart of six citrate of magnesia (a laxative), and a quart of olive oil. In this intriguing image, we see Owen Dauphinee, the keeper responsible for caring for this incredible creature. Before embarking on this risky endeavor, he takes a moment to fondly interact with his scaly companion. Taken in the 1930s between two world wars, this photograph not only showcases human ingenuity but also provides us with a glimpse into our fascination with animals during that era. Its monochrome composition adds depth and nostalgia to an already mesmerizing scene. This historic snapshot is part of TopFoto. co. uk's collection titled "Animal Crackers" which features amusing animal-related images from yesteryears. It serves as both entertainment and documentation of our ever-evolving relationship with nature's most fascinating creatures.
