Snake handler captures 2.5-metre python that swallowed cat in Hong Kong
A Hong Kong snake handler captured a 2.5-metre (8.2 feet) long python that had swallowed a stray cat near a village house in Ma On Shan on Saturday morning. Police received a report at around 6.25am from a Chek Nai Ping Village resident who discovered that the python was swallowing a cat outside the No 91 village house. A snake handler was sent to the scene and captured the Burmese python, which was later placed in a cloth bag and transferred to the Kadoorie Farm for handling. According to the force, the startled python regurgitated the stray cat during the capture. The cat was found dead, and its body was being handled by the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department.

Boer goat nearly becomes python dinner in Baling — but firefighters crash the party
KUALA LUMPUR, May 11 — A hungry python bit off more than it could chew last night when it tried to swallow a hefty Boer goat at a village pen in Kampung Mengkuang Hujung, Kuala Pegang — only to be busted mid-meal by the Baling fire brigade. The dramatic goat-rescue mission kicked off at 10.37pm after a distress call sent firefighters racing to the scene. 'When we arrived, we were informed that the python was still inside the goat pen, wrapped around a Boer goat and preparing to swallow it. 'Despite the goat's large size, the python was capable of swallowing it, but didn't get the chance,' said Baling Fire and Rescue chief Zulkhairi Mat Tanjil, speaking to Harian Metro. The snake, clearly hangry, put up a fight. 'It got aggressive and even tried to strike, but our team managed to wrangle it in about 15 minutes using a snake snare,' he added, before confirming that the goat constricted by the python died at the scene. Too hefty for one person to handle, the python needed four firefighters to haul it into a sack before it was handed over to the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan). Officials believe the python had slithered out of its usual habitat on the hunt for food — and nearly pulled off the ultimate late-night snack.

Three dead pythons have been found near Coniston since March
A woman who found a dead python on a Greater Sudbury hiking trail March 28 has since learned that two other pythons met the same fate in the area. A woman who found a dead python on a Greater Sudbury hiking trail March 28 has since learned that two other pythons met the same fate in the area. Maria Gollek snapped a picture of the snake she found while she was hiking on a trail near Coniston. 'The snake has a beautiful distinct pattern and it was curled up at the side of the pathway -- definitely not looking like the foliage or leaves,' Gollek said. 'I was like WOW! (That's) not supposed to be here and just went and had a look.' Social media chatter She posted the picture on social media and soon became aware of more dead snakes found in the area. She tucked the dead snake's remains under a shed, hoping for an investigation into the matter. 'Two days ago, somebody found … the second snake,' Gollek said. 'Upon people making comments about that somebody posted they had found a third one … which is between this location and where I found the other one.' She said it appears as though, for whatever reason, someone is dumping the snakes outdoors. 'There could be a number of reasons, but there are better ways of finding new homes for them,' Gollek said. 'Yeah, dumping is not the answer.' She said pythons are not native to the area and can't live in cold, spring conditions. 'They have no way of surviving out in the wild,' she said. 'And if, in fact, they were dead when they were dumped, there are other ways of disposing of them.' After she found the first python, she called officials at Greater Sudbury and the Ministry of Natural Resources. We reached out to the City of Greater Sudbury, which said it is not currently involved in the investigation. And in an email to CTV News, the MNR said it doesn't investigate the deaths of snakes in these types of cases. 'You may wish to contact the Ontario Provincial Police or local animal control for further information,' the email said. The MNR also stated that releasing exotic animals into the wild is illegal and may result in fines or charges.
