An 18.5-foot long Indian rock python was saved from a village in Odisha.

In the village of Rajendranarayanpur near Bhitarkanika National Park in Odisha's Kendrapara district, a remarkable rescue took place on Friday. An 18.5-foot-long Indian rock python, an adult in its prime, had somehow wandered into the village and was in need of assistance.

Thankfully, the locals were quick to notice the unusual visitor and immediately contacted the forest department. The forest officials sprang into action, determined to safely rescue the python.

When they arrived, they found that the python had sustained some injuries during its unexpected journey. Without hesitation, the forest officials took the python in and began treating its wounds. The python is currently under the care of veterinarians, who are working tirelessly to help it make a full recovery.

Once the python is back to full health, the plan is to release it back into its natural habitat in the wild. This is great news for both the python and the ecosystem, as pythons are essential to maintaining balance in the environment.

Although some may fear pythons due to their size and strength, forest officials assure us that they are not typically a threat to humans. Even when provoked, pythons are known to only use their strength in self-defence. Luckily, this rescue had a happy ending for both the python and the villagers of Rajendranarayanpur.
