A man decided to wrap a large snake around his body before releasing it into the wild in Marrakai, southeast of Darwin, on May 7.

Filmer Hayden Hunt said he and his friend, Nathan Vale, were traveling along the Arnhem Highway when they spotted the olive python. Vale picked the reptile up and set it aside, noting that he was 190 cm tall but the snake was at least 10 cm taller. Credit: Hayden Hunt via Storyful
