[webfact]

 

In a jaw-dropping incident, a formidable python unleashed chaos, chasing stray dogs and cats at the Mangkornmingmuang Temple in the municipality of Khlong Khud, Mueang District, Satun Province.

 

As the unsettling situation unfolded, the temple's abbot promptly reached out to Anuwat Sumalee, the head of the local municipal vehicle operation team. Urged by the potential danger, they swiftly mobilized a rescue mission to the temple grounds where a wild python had sought refuge inside the drainage pipe, posing a serious threat to the residing monks, reported Siam Rath.

 

Upon the arrival of the authorities, a collective gasp filled the air! A colossal python, measuring an impressive 5-6 meters in length, had entangled itself within the drainage pipe, rendering escape seemingly impossible.

Anuwat Sumalee detailed that the temple staff had reported the python, and it became evident that the snake, unable to navigate the confined space, had sought shelter within the temple's drainage system. Through a synchronized effort involving five individuals, the team successfully extracted the python after nearly 20 minutes of utilizing power tools to cut open the drainage pipe.

 

Sumalee revealed that the temple had been grappling with the mysterious disappearance of stray dogs and cats. The discovery of the python shed light on the cause, as the creatures had likely fallen prey to the colossal serpent.

Luckily, the vigilant monks remained unharmed, ensuring the safe relocation of the python to the restricted wildlife sanctuary of Nong Plak Phraya and Khao Raya Bansa, Satun Province.

 

This successful intervention not only preserved the delicate balance of nature but also showcased the dedication of the rescue team in the face of a perilous python predicament.
