Watch: Farmer, citizens react in true SA-fashion as python climbs tree
How would you react if a 4m python climbed a scraggly tree in front of you? Probably with strong language, much like a North West farmer did. A video posted on Boland Snake Removals 24/7 and Pest Control's Facebook page shows the huge snake, identified by the page as an African rock python, slithering up a tree. As the python, believed to be pregnant, makes its way up the tree, you can hear branches breaking – and the farmer's hilarious reaction. 'Liewe donner die ding is dik,' the farmer says in Afrikaans. An approximate translation to English would be 'Good heavens, this thing [the python] is thick.' The farmer wishes to remain anonymous to protect the snake from being killed for muti. Warning: The following video contains strong language With over 1 500 comments, the discussion beneath the post offers plenty to entertain: One comment, from Anton Eksteen, posted in Afrikaans but translated into English reads: 'If you thought Usain Bolt was the world record holder in the 100m, wait until I spot a [snake] like this… Usain Bolt would look like an amateur.' While Collen Emeunc offered a traditional brandy as a reward for the farmer's camera work: 'Camera man come fetch Klipis & coke .' About the climb How common is it that African rock pythons climb trees? According to a post by Patrick Sherman on Animal Diversity Web, the large-bodied snake mainly stays on the ground, but climbs if the need arises. 'They can swim well and stay submerged for a long time, which is advantageous for avoiding potential threats,' the post adds.

Gout Gout put on notice as Japanese teen obliterates his PB and Usain Bolt record in sizzling 100m run
Japanese teen phenom Sorato Shimizu has put Gout Gout and the world on notice after running a blistering 10.00 100m at a local meet in Hiroshima, Japan. The 16-year-old tore up the track, striding right away from his rivals late in a performance that has raised more than a few eyebrows. Watch the biggest Aussie sports & the best from overseas LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. His 10-second flat run obliterated Gout's personal best time of 10.17 and is also faster than any 100m time recorded by Usain Bolt as a 20-year-old. It was so fast that it set a new world record for the fastest 100m time ever achieved by an athlete under the age of 18. Shimizu beat the previous record jointly held by American Christian Miller, and Thai ace Puripol Boonson, who both previously ran 100m in 10.06 seconds. You can watch the Shimuzu's incredible 100m dash in the player above. Following his achievement, Shimuzu said: 'I was determined to run under 10 seconds heading into the final. 'I'm happy to have set a high school record. I'd like to get a taste of it if I can make it.' Does Gout Gout have a new rival? Gout is the rising star of athletics but the fact a boy younger than him has achieved a time he hasn't is sure to get his competitive juices flowing. Similarly to Usain Bolt, Gout has suggested the 200m event is more suited to his running style, due to his slower start and trademark acceleration – similar to that of Usain Bolt. But the Aussie will still be competing at several 100m events in the coming months and years, and is sure to have noticed the young Japanese phenom. Gout has gone under 10 seconds twice in his young career but both runs were wind assisted, meaning Shimizu has got one up on the Aussie sensation, at least for now. With Gout shining at the Diamond League and Shimizu clocking a world record time it is only a matter of the time until the pair do battle on the track.
