People in Indonesia were shocked when a giant python over 7 meters long showed up next to a village water hole.
The snake was about 7.2 meters long. Villagers caught it and laid it down on the ground. Many people gathered around, looking surprised.
A man named Rivan was getting water from the well in his backyard when he saw the snake. He ran away and told his friends to help catch it.
This happened in a village in the Sigi district of Sulawesi province on Saturday. Luckily, no one was hurt by the snake.
A man named Arif, who helped catch the snake, said everyone was very surprised. He warned people to be careful when working in their gardens or using water holes.
Indonesia has a lot of pythons, especially in the rainforests where there’s a lot of food. This allows the snakes to grow very big. Sometimes, villagers who travel through the forest or grasslands become victims of these large snakes.
Snake Catching
Villagers had to work together to catch the snake. They were careful not to get too close.
- They used ropes to tie up the snake.
- They made sure not to hurt the snake.
