An MRI of a Python Digesting a Rat

I am the National Sheepdog Trial today, watching some of the smartest dogs and best dog handlers in the world, but I leave you with this picture to mull over with your coffee:

Using a combination of computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), scientists Kasper Hansen and Henrik Lauridsen of Aarhus University in Denmark were able to visualize the entire internal organ structures and vascular systems (aka "guts") of a Burmese Python digesting a rat.
