Indonesian man's body found inside python - police

29 March 2017 Asia

A missing Indonesian man was found dead inside the body of a python, according to local police.

Akbar went missing on Sunday on the island of Sulawesi, after leaving to harvest palm oil.

In the search for the 25-year-old, police told BBC Indonesian that they had found a huge snake they suspected had swallowed the man.

The reticulated python, reported to be 7m (23ft)-long, was cut open and the man's body was found.

Pythons rarely kill and eat humans, although there are occasional reports of them swallowing young children or animals.

1. They Can Open Their Mouths That Big?

Or, did this thing crush the guy into a deflated raft? I know those are big snakes, but i can't picture how they could open their jaws big enough to swallow and adult human.

And you wouldn't like me when i'm angry! I know, you don't like me even if i'm not angry.

3. Some snakes can unhinge their jaws to allow them to swallow large prey

NOT for the squeamish:
