According to the Indian media "NEWS18", how big was a giant python found in the town of Sindri in the city of Dhanbad, Jharkhand, India? How to say it, the excavator grabbed it in the middle of the snake's body and lifted it to the highest when the tail was still hanging on the ground, and the snake's head on the other end was still looking around dazed, trying to escape!

People in Sindri, Danbad, Jharkhand, in east-central India, found a giant python in the forest, which was so large that to avoid harming innocents, the local people asked the JCB excavator working nearby to help capture the python.
Onlookers filmed the stunning scene, and local Forest Service official Susanta Nanda obtained a live video and posted it on social media.
Judging from the video footage, this JCB excavator has been raised high python, but even if it is lifted to the highest point, the tail of this giant python is still hanging to the ground, while the other end is a snake's head, still spitting out a letter trying to escape, this picture is too shocking, so giant python, too big!
How big is this python?
According to the NEWS18 website, the python has been handed over to the local animal protection organization, but it does not involve the size of the python, but gives a weight estimate, about several quintals, which is a relatively rare unit of weight, 100 kg for one quintal, while another report said that the snake weighs 5 quintals, that is, 500 kilograms.
Since there is almost no detailed information about the excavator, it is difficult to estimate the length of the snake, but from the cab shown in the picture and the length of the snake when lifted, the length of the snake is likely to exceed 8 meters, and judging from the amplitude of the shaking and the snake's behavior, this picture does not look like a forgery.
According to the length and weight of the world's largest snake before, the maximum weight of this snake is estimated to be between 1 and 2 quintals, and it is likely to be greater than 150 kg. This is definitely a giant python, I haven't seen such a python in a long time! But the question is, India has captured such a huge python, how big is the world's largest python?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > how big will the world's largest python grow? </h1>
Judging from the display in the picture, this giant python should be a reticulated python, after all, the regular pattern, friends who are familiar with the python species can recognize at a glance that this is the reticulated python, this python is the longest python in the world, it can continue to grow for life, their potential seems to be unlimited, then the question is, is the reticulated python found in India really the longest and largest in the world?
On September 3, 2021, the patrol team of the Management and Protection Bureau of the Nan rolling River National Nature Reserve in Lincang County, Yunnan Province, found a giant python during patrol, judging from the pattern, this is a Burmese python, the length is about 5 meters, the snake age is about 20 to 30 years, and the thickest position of the python is similar to the thigh of an adult.
On August 25, 2021, Prian GantimurNews reported that an angler in Kintap District, Tanahlaut County, South Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, found a giant python, according to the reference and the morphological restoration measurements at the time, the size of this python reached about 8 meters, and according to the pattern characteristics of the video it shot, it was a reticulated python!
Judging from the last two discoveries, this python does have a very large "potential", so is there a larger python record? The planters have gone through the discoveries of recent years, and it seems that it is difficult to find a larger record of snake discoveries, although there are some cases in earlier cases.
Is the rare python record true?
On September 18, 2019, the MotherShip news channel published a report about wild animals that died during the Kalimantan fire that year, including a picture of a dead python, which reportedly was 10 meters long and 20 centimeters in diameter. But according to the length-to-diameter ratio of python bodies, it seems that this proportion is somewhat wrong, because the diameter is on the small side!
The longest python recorded on Baidu is an Indonesian osmanthus python, given a size of 14.85 meters and a weight of 447 kilograms, the longest giant snake ever found in more than 100 years.
But if this is compared to the giant python in a news article published by the British "Daily Mail" on February 23, 2009, it is directly a small witch, during the flood, an aerial photograph taken by local officials during the inspection found that there is a long unidentified object in malaysia's Baal River, which is estimated to be a giant snake up to 100 feet (about 30 meters) long.
Despite the "discovery record" of so many pythons, there is a record of python bounties from the beginning of the 1910s to the early 21st century that has not been revealed, and the requirement was to find a 30-foot (about 9.144 meters) python that is still alive and still alive to receive a bounty of $5,000, which later rose to $50,000, but no one has ever revealed it.
And the records of those pythons have gradually been found to be fake, such as the osmanthus python later had a Guardian reporter to verify, it was measured together with snake skin when molting, but the problem is how the weight will also be measured incorrectly, because the osmanthus python seems to be only about 100 kilograms, and the length is between 6.5 and 7 meters.
The one found in the Baal River in Malaysia is too shocking, because according to the canopy ratio, this giant python is not only 30 meters, but may be hundreds of meters long, such a giant animal, may not have appeared in the history of the earth.
The longest and largest Titan Python, which was 58 million years old in history, reached 14 meters in size and weighed about 1.1 tons, and at that time it fed on prehistoric giant tortoises and crocodiles! The reason why such a giant python came out is because the temperature was more than 5 degrees Celsius higher than now, and the temperature-changing animals needed a higher ambient temperature to grow to a larger size, which is why the python, a reptile, is about close to the equator.
The giant pythons that appear on the Internet that need to be pulled away by tens of tons of trucks, or the large snakes that stand more than tens of meters on the side of the road, you don't have to think about it, you can directly think that this is PS, there will be no such giant snake on the earth.
