Guard dogs protecting a fruit orchard in Malaysia have met their match -- a 7.1-metre-long (23-ft-long) python that swallowed at least 11 hounds before it was finally discovered by villagers.

"I was shocked to see such a huge python," orchard-keeper Ali Yusof told the New Straits Times in an article published beneath a picture of the captured snake, which was almost long enough to span the width of a tennis court and as thick as a tree trunk.

Villagers did not harm the snake, which was tied to a tree then handed to wildlife officials, the paper said on Friday.

Well, we have a moderate muslim member who posted a thoughtful thread, only to be crapped on by the first reply. :~(

Nah, that would never happen on FR. The Friday moderator is all over it.

That is the kind of thing that would inspire me to become an ex-villager.

Everybody move to the city!

Did the snake eat the dogs over a period of time or all at once?

I was shopping at an art supply store in Santa Fe NM and when I opened the door to the ladies restroom, the owner's pet snake was in there. It was coiled up and I thought it was a big bean bag chair. My heart almost stopped when I realized it was the biggest snake I had ever seen.

That's pretty damn impressive.  I haven't eaten more than six dogs in one sitting.

I'll betcha I could eat that Python though.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

"Honey, have you seen the dogs...honey???"

You'd think it would have the decency to lock the door.

I see a snake of that size and I immediately think "Boots"

"I was shocked to see such a huge python,"

Not nearly as shocked as the poor dogs!

Bush's fault? bump

I saw this and was going to post it, but you slithered on beyond me, keeping your nose to the ground, without a sound.

[presidio9]

Yes, I did get particularly wrapped up in this one.

[GoldCountryRedneck]

Me too!!

I think there's enough leftovers for luggage too!
