The python.



At about 9 am on the same day, a woman named Minh saw her cow returning home from the mountain alone, without her calf. Thinking the calf strayed, she went out to look for it.

In the nearby forest, Minh saw a python lying in a canal, with a very big belly.

Guessing that the python had swallowed her calf, Minh returned to the village calling others to catch the python. As the python was overfed, it could not move up so people caught it easily.

Once catching the python, villagers disemboweled the python and took out Minh’s calf. The python meat was sold to villagers for a total of VND5 million ($250).

Recently, locals lost cows and goats so they suspected that this python had swallowed them.
