In Andhra Pradesh a giant python wraps around a drunken man; video goes viral

In a startling incident that has gone viral on social media, a massive python was seen coiling around a drunk man in Andhra Pradesh , prompting quick action from locals. The shocking footage serves as a chilling reminder of the dangers posed by excessive drinking and the need for vigilance in wildlife habitats. The event took place in Singanapalle village, where a truck driver, unable to make it home after a night of drinking, passed out on a nearby platform. As he slept, a giant python emerged from the woods, wrapping itself around him, unaware of the imminent danger he faced.

Reports indicate that the lorry driver was rescued without causing any harm to the snake. Locals skillfully used sticks to carefully remove the python from the man, ensuring that both the intoxicated individual and the snake were unharmed.

A portion of the snake's body lay across his lap while it attempted to wrap around his neck.

Upon learning about the situation, locals quickly rushed to the scene and bravely took action. Using flashlights, they assisted one another in locating and rescuing the man from the non-venomous reptile. It appears that the residents managed the rescue independently, without the assistance of a snake handler. The man was visibly intoxicated during the incident, as shown in the footage as reported. Fortunately, the locals acted promptly to ensure the man was not harmed by the python, and he reportedly sustained no injuries.



Pythons: Characteristics and habitat

Pythons are large, non-venomous snakes that subdue their prey by constricting them until they suffocate. These impressive reptiles can grow up to 20 feet long and are commonly found in India’s forests, grasslands, and near water bodies, including the Himalayan foothills, Western Ghats, and parts of Northeast India. They primarily catch their prey through ambush, lying in wait for unsuspecting mammals or rodents to pass by before striking.
