Oke News- INDONESIA  A.python or python with a length of seven meters in the village Salubiro, Karossa, Central Mamuju, West Sulawesi, reportedly preyed on an oil palm farmer in the village. Really python can swallow an adult human?

Expert snake or a herpetologist from the UB, Nia Kurniawan said that humans are not the main prey, but pythons prey as needed calories.
"The more prey python snake wild boar and foxes, which are more easily found than men. It just happened this time, between the human habitat and the python was overlap, which allows humans to be eaten by a python," said Nia Kurniawan.

Village Secretary Salubiro, Junaidi told Isyana Artharini from BBC Indonesia, a search is performed by around 60 villagers, who are divided into three groups. The search starts since dusk and they just find a snake oil palm plantations around 21:30 pm.
When found, the snake did not move, but still in the living conditions.
"His mouth is often open," said Junaidi. Residents suspect because seeing a snake belly is huge. "If you eat a wild boar is definitely not for it," he said.
They then kill the snakes, using spears and machetes many times in the head.
Junaidi explained, the snake was found in an area that is watery and muddy. So as to dissect his stomach, after death, the snake should be moved somewhere more dry.
"About four meters (from where the discovery). Weight," said Junaidi.
The day after the discovery of the snake and Akbar in it, Akbar family with residents, according to Junaidi, measuring the snake. The result? "Seven meters (length)," said Junaidi.


The behavior of python or python in human prey, says Nia Kurniawan, an expert herpetologist from the University of Brawijaya, not because he was in danger, but because they are hungry and need to eat.
"Animal carnivore, both crocodiles, lions, tigers, snakes, that was measuring the size of the calories. So if he's big snake, he want to eat, he calculates body mass prey '" said Nia.
"If a snake the size of four meters, there was a rat passed, it will not eat him. But if a larger minimum size of a boar, he would want to pursue. As he calculates the energy, the energy to prey that's pretty big. So the python was dropped self, twisted. he would wait until there was no heartbeat, then he will loosen, continue to eat, "he said anyway.
Then if pythons were reported to reach seven meters, they will receive the calories needed from the victim about the size of a human.(OKN)
