Here's How a Python Jaw Can Fit a Whole Deer | Scientific American

On June 7th, 2024, a horrifying incident unfolded in Kalempang village, South Sulawesi province, Indonesia. 45-year-old Farida, a mother of four, fell victim to a brutal python attack while walking through the forest on her way to a nearby market. 

 

When Farida failed to return home that night, her husband Noni grew concerned and organized a search party with local villagers. After discovering Farida's belongings scattered in the forest, they spotted an ominously large python nearby with a distinctly protruding abdomen.

Fearing the worst, the villagers made the grim decision to cut open the snake's stomach. Their worst suspicions were confirmed when Farida's fully clothed body was revealed inside the 16-foot reticulated python.

 

Graphic videos circulating online show the harrowing scene of villagers using machetes to slice into the python's abdomen and extract Farida's lifeless remains. Her devastated husband expressed immense remorse, stating: "If I had been with her that day, the snake would not have dared to touch her...I feel sorry for the suffering she went through. I am sorry for our family."

 

Tragically, this is not an isolated incident in Indonesia. At least four other python attack fatalities have occurred since 2017 in the region:

 

- In 2023, a farmer was killed by an 8-meter python in Southeast Sulawesi's Tinanggea district.

- In 2022, a woman in Jambi province was swallowed whole by a python, according to local media reports cited by the BBC.

- In 2018, 54-year-old Wa Tiba went missing near her village in Muna town and was later found dead inside a 7-meter python's body.  

- In 2017, a farmer named Akbar was ambushed and eaten alive by a 4-meter python on a palm oil plantation in West Sulawesi, an incident captured in a viral 6-minute video.

 

The reticulated python is the longest snake species in the world, native to Southern Asia. According to London's Natural History Museum, the longest wild reticulated python on record measured nearly 33 feet long in 1912 - over half the length of a bowling lane and taller than a giraffe when standing.

 

While python attacks on humans are extremely rare, these tragic incidents emphasize the importance of being aware of the potential dangers posed by massive constrictor snakes and taking necessary precautions in regions where they are present.
