A voracious 6m long python almost choked to death after trying to swallo a goat whose size was too much for its jaws. The snake and its prey were found last week by villagers in Mallik Sobha village, Jalpaiguri district, eastern India.

The villagers called a wildlife specialists but the team could not visit the area on time. Luckily for the reptile, ten men took matters into their own hands, they pulled the goat out of the python’s mouth but by that time it had already been dead.

A team of wildlife experts arrived too late to save the goat They then tied ropes around the python and pushed it into the sack, holding it by the neck and took it in a cycle rickshaw, as no animal rescue van was available to release in the Sonakhali forest. Rohul Amin, the owner of the goat, said: “This is not the first time pythons have come out of the forest and attacked domestic animals. They have killed two to three cows, lambs and sheep in a year. I am heartbroken with my loss. I had never imagined my goat would meet with end this way.”

The snake was identified as a Burmese rock python, which is one of the five largest species of snakes in the world.
