Huge python caught after swallowing puppy in southern Thailand
- 5 years ago
This is the harrowing moment a huge python was caught after swallowing a puppy.
The 14-foot-long snake was found curled up at the bottom of a concrete pipe on Wednesday (July 3) in Songkhla province, southern Thailand.
The shocked resident immediately called the emergency services who arrived and dragged the beast from its hiding place.
Footage shows how a large bulge could be seen in the snake's stomach, from where it had swallowed one the young dogs that had been roaming around the garden.
The owner said: ''This is the first time that such a large snake has been found in the area. It must have come from the forest because there are a lot of snakes there.''
''This is the first time a snake here has eaten a whole puppy. It slithered away when it was full, and that's when we found it.''
The local rescue foundation volunteers released the snake after they had caught it. However, it wasn't forced to regurgitate its pray and was left to digest it in peace.
