A seven-metre-long python was recently captured in Kedah, Malaysia.
Python had eaten a goat
The python had been found motionless, in a goat pen, after eating a large goat. This made it possible for the Kubang Pasu Civil Defense Force to capture the python. Snakes can take days or weeks to digest their prey. After a large meal, they are at their most vulnerable and are less likely to move quickly.

The Civil Defense Force shared on Facebook that they received a report about the snake at 8.23am on Oct. 19. Four Civil Defense Force members arrived at the scene shortly after. It took them around 25 minutes to capture the python, which weighed 140kg. It has since been handed over to the state wildlife department.
