A blood-curdling video shows an unusual hunting technique – using limbs to catch rock python, an animal known for its brute strength.
The video shows a group of hunters, with one them washing is leg and wrapping it with cloth for protection.
He then approaches a borough, where the snake lies deep inside and pushes his leg inside.
The tense pack of hunters wait for the snake to take the bait. As the heart-stopping moments pass, the man signals in alarm – the snake has swallowed his leg.
His friends pull him out and out comes the snake, which has taken in a good art of his leg. They struggle to extricate him and fail. They give him a knife with which he cuts open the snake.
The hunting technique is unusual but has been documented elsewhere as well. The location of the incident is not available. The video below wrongly identifies the snake as an anaconda.
