An amazingly large scrub python was found in Australia and a video of it has gone viral on the internet.

On February 15, Lea-Ann Kennedy received a shocking surprise when she found the 5.5-meter-long snake at her home at 4:30 am, Cairns Post reported. The snake reportedly weighed about 40 kilograms.

Wildlife rescuers removed the snake from the premises. A video posted on Facebook raked in almost 4 million views and has been shared over 52,000 times.

A local snake catcher said the scrub python had immense strength and was difficult to remove.

The video got a mixed reception from viewers, with some criticizing the way the snake was handled. The snake catcher insisted the snake was not hurt.

The snake was released into the wild.

  6. Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing several weeks of hard work due to
