The python was rescued by NGO, Wildlife SOS’s rapid response team from a 14-foot trench and after proper examination was released into its natural habitat.

“The snake made an appearance because this area falls in the deeper part of the forest,” the NGO’s wildlife conservation director Dr Baiju Raj M V said.

“It is a good thing that the people of this area now wait for the experts to arrive rather than take matters into their own hands,” co founder of Wildlife SOS, Kartick Satyanarayan said.
