Authorities in Malaysia have captured a 100kg (200lb) python while it was laying eggs. A video released online shows the moment the huge python was captured. The video shows the officials struggling to get it into a cage as the reptile gave them a tough time.
The video was filmed near a village in Perak on Sunday.
A spokesman from the Malaysian Civil Defence Department said: “The python was not too aggressive and according to villagers, seven or eight of the eggs had been eaten by monitor lizards based on residual evidence.”
Both the eggs and the python were eventually relocated to a nearby zoo.
