A 22-foot-long-python swallowed a grandmother whole in Indonesia. The shocking moment of finding the remains of the unfortunate victim inside the gigantic reptile when it was cut open has been captured on video, said reports.
The victim has been identified as 54-year-old Jahrah.
Police told the media that a search was launched after Jahrah failed to return from collecting rubber from a plantation in Jambi province on Sunday, Oct. 23.
According to Betara Jambi Police Chief AKP Herafa, the victim's husband searched the area, but only found his wife’s sandals, jacket, headscarf, and knife.
He returned to the same area with a search party the next day where they stumbled across the giant snake with a swollen mid-section where it had eaten something large, police confirmed.
The wild video shows a volunteer carefully using a branch to pin the python’s head down as others started bashing it above the swollen area.
The disturbing clip then cut to villagers carefully slicing it open revealing what officials say was the swallowed body of the missing grandma.
“Everyone was astonished,” Anto, the head of the local Terjun Gajah village, told the media.
“It turned out that the woman we were looking for was in the snake’s stomach.”
The snake likely bit Jahrah and then suffocated her by wrapping itself around her before swallowing her said Anto — who estimated it would have taken at least two hours.
It was not even a record for the village — where a 27-foot-long python was previously spotted, Anto said.
That one got away, the official said, leaving locals “worried that bigger snakes are still in the forest.”
In a similar incident, a tourist vacationing in Tennessee’s Smoky Mountains was injured after a rogue bear broke into his locked cabin in the middle of the night and charged at him, officials said.
The unnamed victim discovered the beast when he went into the kitchen of the rental cabin near downtown Gatlinburg late Saturday, Oct. 22, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency said.
The 209-pound bear burst through a set of French doors that were locked but not dead-bolted, wildlife officers told the media.
