A YouTube video shows a bunch of men standing around a python slicing its belly down the middle. After the 23-foot-long snake’s belly has been cut open, an entire grown man, swallowed whole, is revealed lying dead inside the python.
The video was taken on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. Local reports said that the body was that of Akbar Salubiro, a harvester who worked on a palm oil plantation on the island and went missing a few days earlier.
A local media report said that the snake involved is a reticulated python. These snakes are among some of the largest in the world, growing over 20 feet long and weighing more than a hundred pounds.
Similar to Burmese pythons, these huge snakes kill their prey before consuming it.
