Employees of a supermarket in Sydney, Australia, were busy cleaning their goods when they were surprised to find a python slowly crawling out of the cracks in the shelves.
Although snakes are a common wildlife in Australia, the presence of snakes in densely populated places like supermarkets has taken many people by surprise.
However, an Australian woman named Helena Arati scoffed at the incident, saying that it was nothing, snakes are all too common in Australia, and one of her encounters was really surprising.
So, let's listen to the story of this Helena Alatti and see what kind of things she has experienced, which makes her think that climbing out of the supermarket python is nothing.
First, the supermarket was surprised by the giant python.
Helena Alati is a trained snake catcher, affectionately known to locals as "Snake Mother".
This python is not the largest python Helena has ever seen, but it is as thick as an adult's wrist, and its winding and crawling appearance does make many people look a little creepy.
Where did this python come from?
In fact, snakes can often be found in supermarkets, residential buildings and even toilets in Australia.
This is actually very normal, because the climate in Australia is very special, with extremely dry winters, and snakes are cold-blooded animals, they need a warm and humid environment to survive.
Therefore, many snakes choose to inhabit residential areas, supermarkets and even toilets.
There are concerns that snakes will crawl out of the bathroom to bite, but in fact, this is not very common, because the ventilation holes of the toilet are usually a certain distance from the ground, and these distances are already impossible for snakes to climb, so it is not easy for snakes to climb into the toilet.
So why do so many snakes still appear in residential areas?
In fact, this is because snakes are a very common wild animal in Australia, and many snakes will look for food around residential areas even if they are not found by humans.
Therefore, it is very likely that someone will see these snakes, and this will give the impression that the number of snakes has become very large.
In addition, some snakes, especially large snakes such as pythons, have a very wide range of living areas, and the impact of human activities on their living environment will also make them have to flee their original habitat and leave the place where humans live closer.
That's why many wild animals in Australia invade human homes.
The same is true for snakes in supermarkets, which are likely to have stumbled into the supermarket while they were looking for prey.
However, while snakes are becoming more abundant, Australian snake catchers are highly experienced and skilled in catching snakes, so if they find snakes entering places such as supermarkets, snake catchers will quickly catch them and release them away from populated areas.
The same fate was true for the python, which was quickly caught by a snake catcher and then taken away from the supermarket for release.
Helena Alati also felt very indifferent to this matter, and she even jokingly said: "What are you afraid of, I used to be bitten by a python from below when I was squatting in the toilet!"
When the others heard it, they couldn't help but change their faces in fright, could it be that this "snake mother" has any other story?
Second, the snake mother tells her own story.
"I used to play outside and suddenly I felt sick to my stomach and ran to the toilet," says Helena Alatti.
At the time, I was only nine years old, and I didn't know anything, but I felt like pooping, so I threw myself into the toilet and squatted down, ready to poop. ”
"However, I couldn't pull it out, so I thought it was strange, and as soon as I tried to stand up, I was bitten from below by a python.
At that moment, I was really scared and screamed, and then, the python bit my ass, until my dad heard my scream, ran in, and beat the python away, and I was saved. ”
Hearing this, everyone was frightened, and they couldn't help but feel sorry for the nine-year-old Helena Alatti, no wonder she would be so numb to such a thing as a giant python in the supermarket, it turned out that she had already experienced more thrilling things in her life.
Helena Alati also said: "I don't think it's really a big deal if there is a giant python in the supermarket, no one is hurt, and it will be fine in the future." ”
In fact, Helena Alatti's story is not an isolated one, not only in Australia, but around the world, where people are used to living with wildlife.
However, with the continuous development of human society, human beings continue to destroy the living environment of wild animals, which poses a threat to the survival of wild animals, and makes conflicts with wild animals more and more frequent.
The conflict between wild animals and humans not only threatens the safety of human life, but also threatens the survival of wild animals.
Therefore, we should be more active in protecting wild animals and providing them with a good living environment.
3. Coexistence of humans and wildlife.
Helena Alatti's story is heartbreaking, but in fact, there are many more similar things in Australia.
Because Australia's climate is very dry, Australia is also a very common place for snakes, and snakes are also known as "the deadliest snakes in the world" in Australia, so Australians are very afraid of snakes.
In addition, Australia's dry climate will make Australia's damp and dark places more attractive to snakes, so many snakes will also break into the homes of residents.
Snakebites are not uncommon in Australia, however, in most cases, people who are bitten by snakes are treated promptly and without life-threatening injuries.
Helena Alatti is a very successful example, as Australia's "snake mother", she has a lot of experience with snakes, and she often teaches snake catching techniques everywhere so that people can better protect themselves and wildlife.
However, despite all the snake catchers, there is still a strong need for us to protect Australia's wildlife adequately.
Therefore, not only Australia, but the whole world should be more active in strengthening the protection of wildlife and providing a safer living environment for wildlife.
In the event of human-wildlife conflict, we should be more active in educating the public so that the public can better understand wildlife and related coping skills, so as to better protect wild animals and human lives.
At the same time, governments in regions such as Australia should also strengthen the monitoring and management of wildlife, so that wildlife and human living spaces are more separated, so as to reduce the possibility of wildlife entering residential areas.
In life, we should also pay attention to maintaining environmental hygiene and minimize the opportunities for wild animals such as snakes to enter residential areas.
epilogue
As the home of "the world's deadliest snake", Australia's snake population is indeed huge, but Australia's wildlife is also very distinctive and valuable.
The flood of wild animals not only threatens human life, but also threatens the balance of the ecosystem, so we should take comprehensive and effective measures to manage and control the population of wild animals.
