Forest officials rescue a python in Gujarat's Narmada District

Narmada District (Gujarat), Apr.7 (ANI): Forest officials have rescued a python, which was entangled on a tree, in Gujarat's Narmada District.

A forest official risked his life and climbed on the tree to catch the nearly five-metre long snake.

He first untangled the animal from the branch of the tree and then dropped it down.

"People informed us that a python is sitting on a tree. Our team rescued it from the tree after a lot of hard work," said Balu, a forest official.

Pythons are normally not considered dangerous to humans, even though large specimens are powerful enough to kill an adult and attacks are occasionally reported. (ANI)
