Summary

[edit]
Description

A closer look at the African Python coiled up on a tree. The African Rock Python is widely feared due to its large size, even though it very rarely kills humans. The snake is in fact poached by humans for its meat and its skin. However there has been the rare occasion of an African Rock Python swallowing a human, like a school boy in South Africa who was swallowed by a python in 2002 while his friends watched terrified from the tree which they climbed to take shelter and an infant in Kenya circa 2012 when his mother left him on the doorstep and went into the house for a short while.
