Python is stuffed after it has a bear of a snack

A python had to be rushed to emergency surgery after it ate something it should have avoided.

The snake, which is now named Lucky, decided to chow down on a stuffed teddy bear, 7 News in Australia reported.

When a snake catcher noticed the bear bulge in the sleek snake, he rushed it to a nearby vet. The doc confirmed the not-so happy meal and performed emergency surgery to remove the bulge.

Lucky needed 15 stitches to close the incision, and after a few washings, the teddy is back with its owner.
