A huge eight-foot-long python was caught from inside the chicken coop behind a resident's house in West Sumatra, Indonesia, on April 18.

According to the homeowner's son, at first, they heard the sound of roaring chickens twice. "When we looked into the chicken coop, a snake seen wrapped around a white chicken," Fadil said.

The rescue operation was dramatic as the snake several times attacked the rescue team from the Bukittinggi Reptile community who came to the location.

Cut Mukhtar, from the rescue team, said the snake killed the chicken and planned to eat it "but the snake caught by the livestock owner, so he was caught before he could eat his prey."

The python was successfully evacuated and was taken to the community secretariat to be temporarily quarantined before released back to its habitat that was far from residential areas.
