by Aditi VermaA 15-foot python caused panic in central India’s Madhya Pradesh after swallowing a monkey, leading to its eventual rescue and safe release by the forest department.
The incident took place in Dhaniyakhedi village, which falls under the forest range of Amrawat in Raisen district on August 9.
Visuals showed the forest department team successfully rescued the massive 15-foot python and safely released it into the jungle. The python was incredibly large and imposing, with its thick, muscular body coiled up in a powerful stance. The team handled the giant creature with caution, knowing its potential danger, before carefully releasing it back into its natural habitat.
In a shocking incident in Dhaniyakhedi village near the district headquarters, a massive 15-foot python was spotted by locals after it had swallowed a monkey. The sighting of the large snake sent waves of fear through the community, prompting them to immediately notify the forest department.
Upon receiving the report, a team from the forest department swiftly arrived at the scene. The python, having just consumed the monkey, was unable to move quickly, making it easier for the officials to capture it. The rescue team carefully secured the python in a sack and transported it to the nearby Amrawat forest, where it was safely released back into its natural habitat.
Forest Range Officer Sudhir Patle confirmed the size of the python, noting that it had already eaten before being captured. The quick response and successful rescue operation helped to alleviate the concerns of the villagers.
