| The giant python |
A giant python had reportedly attacked an Indonesian man, nearly severing his arm, before hungry villagers chopped up the reptile and ate it.
The gigantic reptile, attacked Robert Nababan, a security guard who resides in that city.
It was reported that the man crossed paths with the giant creature while patrolling an oil palm plantation in the remote Batang Gansal subdistrict of Sumatra island on Saturday.
The 37-year-old man, while trying to catch the huge python, got bitten on his left arm, nearly severing it from his body. He was immediately rushed to a hospital in the neighbouring town for treatment.
A local police chief, Sutarja, told AFP that the python weigh 7.8 metres long (25.6 feet), which makes it unbelievably huge.
The police chief said the intervention of another security guard and several local residents, one of whom hit the snake with a log, helped to save the man’s life.
Meanwhile, hungry locals killed the snake and displayed its body in the village before dicing it up, frying it and feasting on it.
Giant python, which regularly top 20 feet in length, are commonly found in Indonesia and the Philippines.
