\"Rescuers<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRescuers hold the 3-metre python captured in a residential area in tambon Nai Muang in Muang Phon district of Khon Kaen on Sunday. It was released into the wild well away from human habitation. (Photo: Chakkrapan Natanri)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

A giant python roaming a road in Khon Kaen was captured and released back into the wild after it swallowed a dog.<\/p>\n

Online pages across the northeastern province shared images of rescuers<\/a> holding the huge snake after catching it in tambon Nai Muang.<\/p>\n

Police and rescuers<\/a> were informed that the reptile had been spotted near the road for a couple of days. They went and found it, a python<\/a> about three metres long, in a wooded area behind a hotel on Charoensuk Road.<\/p>\n

Its movements were sluggish<\/a> and it was easily caught, probably because it had very recently hunted and swallowed<\/a> another animal, which was partly visible<\/a> at the entrance to its throat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When it was released into a forest the snake then vomited<\/a> up a dead brown dog.<\/p>\n

About 10 men were needed to capture<\/a> and hold the snake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rescuers hold the 3-metre python captured in a residential area in tambon Nai Muang in Muang Phon district…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":170499,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[94247,94248,61,60,94246,94249,94250,7558,82,11167,263],"class_list":["post-170498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wildlife","tag-bangkok-post","tag-bangkok-post-learning","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-khon-kaen-bangkokpost","tag-learn-english","tag-learn-english-from-news","tag-learning","tag-science","tag-snake","tag-wildlife"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170498\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/170499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
