Since primitive times, the main duty of men has been hunting. After tens of centuries, it has ceased to be a vital necessity and has moved into the category of entertainment. Even in Africa, where men often hunt for food, they also have their own fun, for example, catching a python with live bait.
Initially, a daredevil is chosen, who will actually be a live bait. A buffalo hide is wrapped around his arm. At a crucial moment, it will become a distraction when catching a reptile.
The hunter makes his way into the snake hole head first. You will have to crawl about 10 meters, so the man smears his body with a special composition for better sliding.
The python has infrared vision, it perfectly sees an approaching person in pitch darkness. Therefore, the hunter lights twigs, the heat from which momentarily confuses the snake.
The python, guarding his offspring, rushes into the attack, but the man offers him a hand wrapped in a hide. With the other hand, it is necessary to squeeze the esophagus of the snake so that it cannot swallow the limb or, even worse, the whole person. A 6-meter specimen is quite capable of this.
At first, the snake digs into the victim with its teeth, wraps itself around it in rings and begins to press, suffocating and breaking bones. After that, she swallows it, as if putting on a stocking. It may happen that the captured victim regains consciousness while inside the snake, but this no longer matters.
After the hunter has caught the python, he crawls back from the hole with him, which is very difficult, given the weight of the snake (about 50-70 kg). His companions pull him out by the legs. This is where the hardest part begins: the python is desperately resisting.
Men should not waste a second: the first holds the horned head, the second holds the tail, and the third cuts the snake's throat. One of the hunters again climbs into the hole for eggs, which are considered a delicacy. Loaded with booty, the men go home.
Python can be not only a dangerous reptile, but also a pet. Cambodia has a great example friendship of a 5-year-old boy and a 5-meter python.
