In Andhra Pradesh, a giant python surrounds a drunk man; video goes viral |

In a surprising incident that went viral on social media, a huge python was seen wrapping itself around a drunk man in Andhra Pradesh, prompting residents to react quickly. These shocking images are a chilling reminder of the dangers posed by excessive alcohol consumption and the need to be vigilant in wildlife habitats. The event took place in Singanapalle village, where a truck driver, unable to return home after a night of drinking, passed out on a nearby platform. As he slept, a giant python emerged from the woods, coiling around him, unaware of the imminent danger he faced.

Residents rally to save drunk driver while protecting Python

Reports indicate that the truck 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. The viral video captured the moment the snake slithered around the intoxicated man, who was sitting on a raised surface next to some bushes. Part of the snake’s body lay in his lap as it tried to wrap itself around his neck.

After learning of the situation, residents quickly rushed to the scene and courageously took action. Using flashlights, they helped each other locate and rescue the man from the non-venomous reptile. It appears the residents handled the rescue independently, without the help of a snake handler. The man was visibly intoxicated during the incident, reported footage shows. Fortunately, locals acted quickly to ensure the man was not harmed by the python, and he reportedly did not suffer any injuries.

Pythons: Characteristics and habitat

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