100 help plan
The 54-year-old woman went out in the middle of the night without wearing **, and was swallowed alive by a 7-meter-long giant python, and she really couldn't bear to look at it directly!Hello everyone, I'm the Director of the Discovery Bureau, and in this issue, I'm going to tell you a story about the latest python cannibalism that happened in Indonesia.
In June 2018, a stealthy predator prowled Indonesia, 54-year-old Watiba lives on the beautiful and isolated island of Muna, off the south coast of Sulawesi, a small island of just over 1,050 square kilometers and surrounded by turquoise-blue waters and a golden sandy beach dotted with dense jungle and cascading waterfalls. Most of the island's locals make a living from agriculture, growing rice, sago palms, and vegetables, and often catching some fish from the sea, as well as highly sought-after high-profit sea cucumbers and abundant marine resources.
The inhabitants of the island are close-knit and everyone knows each other. Watiba is a hardworking woman who grows vegetables to feed her family and sell them at the local market, but she has recently encountered a problem with wild boars that always come out at night to eat produce grown in a nearby vegetable garden, which naturally destroys Watiba's hard work, food, and income. One night, she feels that she has had enough, she wants to stop the wild boars from eating her vegetables and must scare them away.
The rainy season has recently ended, the surrounding countryside is lush and green, and when Watiba walked out of the house that night, the air was hot and humid, with temperatures reaching a comfortable 20 degrees Celsius, a significant drop from the 30 degrees Celsius during the day. On the path leading to the vegetable garden, flanked on both sides by dense bushes and rocks, the path winds through the trees, which soon give way to rocky areas. The vegetable garden sits at the base of a large cliff with caves in the rock face, which is a well-known place for snakes. When she got there, she spotted wild boars sniffing around the newly planted vegetable patches, gouging through the vegetable patches with their mouths and munching on them, making a mess of Watiba's hard work. Watiba yelled at them angrily, clapping his hands in fright, and the wild boar screamed frantically and ran into the forest as fast as he could. After that she went to the vegetable patch to see what damage they had done, she checked back and forth with a flashlight, and the damage was really bad, so she would have to come up with a new way to stop them.
In fact, Watiba was not the only one looking for wild boars that night, because in the bushes, a predator had already smelled the wild boar and was walking towards the vegetable garden. However, when the boar escaped, the predators turned their attention to Watiba. It was a huge reticulated python, and when Watiba bent down to inspect her vegetables, the 7-meter-long python pounced on Vatiba, and at this time Watiba was facing away from it, so the python opened its big mouth and bit Vatiba and knocked her to the ground, and the sickle flew out of her hand and fell to the ground.
She jumped up and looked around at the bite, but the python immediately launched a second attack and grabbed her, coiling around her body, and she could clearly feel it contractingThe python's massive muscles squeezed Watiba's body, making her unable to move, her arms locked in her body, and her legs wrapped around the python's powerful entanglementWatiba still tried to struggle, her desire to survive was strong, but the more she writhed the python, the tighter it tightened, and she slowly felt that it was difficult to breathe, and her blood vessels were squeezed, and her chest cavity expanded as a result. In just a few minutes, Watiba lost consciousness, she could no longer breathe, and her life was forever stuck in this moment.
Unfortunately, Watiba died alone that night. She is a beloved person for the family and the local villagers, and a devoted mother to two children, who will surely miss her terribly. For Watiba, the attack must have been terrible, it must have been an incredibly painful path, a feeling of helplessness and powerlessness, without any ability to fight back. She met the wrong person at the wrong time, and the python's original target was not her, and the encounter between the two was attracted to this place by the boar, and then the boar quietly escaped, and so tragedy happened!
Pythons come to this area because Sulawesi has lost their habitat due to excessive deforestation in recent years to make way for agriculture, leaving local wildlife with nowhere to go, predators like pythons are more likely to encounter people, and if they want to get from one forest to another, they have to cross open farmland, and fragmented habitats make hunting increasingly difficult. So with the expansion of agriculture in Sulawesi, pythons are attracted to other animals that live near humans, and their farmland, rodents, and livestock are easy prey for these snakes, and humans seem to be the same.
When Watiba stopped struggling, the python was perfectly capable of eating her. It was a chilling moment as it moved towards Watiba's head, its mouth wide open, and the elastic ligaments on its chin allowed it to eat its prey much larger than its own, and then engulfed Watiba. Little by little, it placed its mouth on Watiba's head, down her body, and slowly, Watiba was swallowed into the stomach by the snake, her feet resting near the python's large mouth, her head sliding towards its tail.
When the family noticed that Watiba had not returned home by the next morning, they informed the village chief, and immediately someone began to search for her, after which more than 100 people joined the search, and they followed her steps to the vegetable garden;They found her flashlight and sandals on the ground, but Watiba was gone, completely gone. At this moment, a villager let out a cry, because there was a 7-meter-long giant reticulated python more than 50 meters away, and its body was incrediblely inflated, so it was quite difficult to move.
The villagers quickly reined in the python, then cut off its head and lifted it up and brought it back to the village. When they arrived, they placed it on the floor, and the crowd gathered around, some with mobile phones, recording every detail of the scene. The other took out a sharp knife and cut it one at a time along the snake's body. When the python's body was broken, many people were frightened, and the villagers could see that there was a corpse in the swollen snake's body, although it was wrapped in the mucus in the python's body very blurry, but it was still recognizable as Watiba;The body was intact, and the clothes on her body had not even come off.
Seeing this scene, some onlookers screamed wildly, and some were scared and cried, which was undoubtedly a pain for those who knew her. A dark cloud of terror suddenly enveloped the entire village, and they were afraid to leave their homes alone or go out at night. Agricultural land is getting deeper and deeper into the surrounding jungle, so such giant pythons are also becoming more common, and although humans are not their natural prey, they are opportunistic ambush predators that open their mouths to swallow whatever they encounter.
Soon after the organization of his clan and friends, Watiba's two children had to say goodbye to their mother;Later that same day, Watiba was properly buried, in keeping with their religious beliefs. When she left the house the night before, no one could have predicted that this would be her last goodbye.
Although python attacks may seem rare around the world, they are becoming more common in Indonesia. Just the year before, a 25-year-old man had been working on a palm oil plantation after being attacked and killed and eaten by a reticulated python on mainland Sulawesi. Also a year ago, another man was attacked while working at a palm oil plantation in Sumatra, and although he survived the attack, this article 7The 8-meter-long python seriously injured him.
With the destruction of habitats and the expansion of human settlements, interactions between humans and pythons will become more frequent. It is unlikely that this will be the last time we will hear such a tragic and horrific death, and with the dramatic increase in snake attacks, the locals have come to live in all sorts of fear, every day for fear of encountering their untimely last pain!
