Giant python eats man: Missing Indonesian guy found inside seven-meter snake's stomach! Watch video

We have come across several shocking fake videos claiming snakes to swallow a person wholly but the reality is far graphic than the fiction. In Indonesia, a man was found inside the belly of a giant python after the bloated seven-metre snake was caught slithering uncomfortably. The python had eaten the young man fully. A six-minute video on the website of the Tribun Timur publication showed the villagers cutting open the giant python and found the body of 25-year-old farmer named Akbar. The video which has gone viral contains graphic imagery and viewer discretion is required. Brown snake recorded swallowing python whole in Australia! Video of rare sight goes viral on the internet.

A shocking incident was reported from Indonesian village of Salubiro, on the eastern island of Sulawesi when a young farmer named Akbar went missing. Worried relatives launched a search for him after he failed to return home from a trip to the family’s plantation. They found a giant python crawling awkwardly with an unusual bloat, making the search group suspicious. They cut open the seven-meter snake to discover the body of Akbar.

Junaedi, the secretary of Salubiro village in West Sulawesi province was quoted by The Associated Press “We were immediately suspicious that the snake had swallowed Akbar because around the site we found palm fruit, his harvesting tool and a boot.” Junaidi further said the snake had swallowed the farmer whole, adding that it was the only such fatality recorded in the region. He said: “When its stomach was cut, we first saw his boot and legs near the neck. It seems he was attacked from behind.”

Giant pythons are the breed of snake, which regularly is more than 20 feet, is commonly found in Indonesia and the Philippines, but never before a human being has been attacked and gobbled up fully. These lethargic serpents feed on by attacking small animals. This viral video of shocking incident reminds of the 2013 occurrence when a security guard has been killed by a python near a luxury hotel on Indonesia’s resort island of Bali.  The 4.5-metre (15ft) python strangled the victim to death.
