Python swallows 11 guard dogs
Guard dogs protecting a fruit orchard in Malaysia have met their match - a 7.1-metre long python that swallowed at least 11 hounds before it was finally discovered by villagers.
"I was shocked to see such a huge python," orchard-keeper Ali Yusof told the New Straits Times.
The paper published a picture of the captured snake, which was almost long enough to span the width of a tennis court and as thick as a tree trunk.
Villagers did not harm the snake, but tied it to a tree and then handed it to wildlife officials, the paper said today.
