Fig. 3. Percentage of ingested meal that was recovered within the stomach (A) and small intestine (B) of Python brongersmai, P. molurus, P. regius, P. reticulatus and P. sebae 2 days after the consumption of rodent meals equaling 25% of their body mass (N=3 for each species). There was significant variation in the percentage of the ingested meal remaining within stomachs among the species, as both P. brongersmai and P. regius had more of the meal still remaining than P. reticulatus and P. sebae. By contrast, there was no variation in the percentage of the ingested meal left in the small intestine. In A, letters above bars that are different denote significant (P<0.05) differences between means as determined from post hoc pairwise comparisons.
