In Malaysia’s Kampung Dew in Kamunting, a family experienced a heart-stopping moment when a massive python––over five meters long and some 80 kilograms––crashed through their living room ceiling, landing right on their sofa.
As per New Straits Times, a Malaysian news publication, the snake is believed to have wandered in from a nearby oil palm plantation. Alarmed by the sudden intrusion, the family contacted the Taiping District Civil Defence Force, a part of Malaysia’s civil defence agency Angkatan Pertahanan Awam (APM), around 8 PM on November 22. Seven APM officers responded to the emergency, according to Faizulhalimi Mohd Yunus, a district APM official.

To reach the snake and capture it, the team had to demolish a part of the living room ceiling. A video shared on Instagram by Brut America shows the aftermath— a gaping hole in the ceiling and the enormous python moving across the sofa––leaving viewers stunned.
The video went viral with over a lakh views. Responding to the video, one user said, “It’s the python’s house now. I’m not wrestling it for it. I’ll just start over. Thanks.” Another user wrote, “And it’s not Australia for once.”
