Weather of Arabia - A python killed a woman in Jambi province in Indonesia and swallowed her whole body, according to local press reports.

Where a woman named "Jahra", a rubber collector in her fifties, disappeared on Sunday when she was on her way to work in a rubber plantation. Sunday night

According to local media, Beitara Jambi police chief, S. Hareva, said; "The victim was found inside the belly of the snake," he said, adding that her body appeared to be largely intact when it was found, as villagers found a python at least 5 meters long with its stomach swollen on Monday, and when locals killed the snake, they found the woman's body inside. Hariva told CNN Indonesia; They "after slitting the belly of the snake, they found that the corpse inside it is the corpse of Jahra."

Although these incidents are rare, it is not the first time that a python has killed and devour a person in Indonesia, two similar deaths were reported in the country between 2017 and 2018.

A python can swallow its prey whole, as its jaws are connected by highly elastic bands, so that they can stretch around the body of a large prey.

Earlier, an expert told the BBC, "BBC; Pythons usually eat rats and other animals, "but as soon as they reach a certain size, they no longer care about rats, because the calories you give them do not equal the effort that goes into their prey."

"In essence, pythons can eat prey of any size," said Mary Ruth Lau, conservation and research officer at Singapore's Wildlife Sanctuaries.
