ALOR SETAR (Bernama): It was a feat indeed for it took the might of three women to wrestle a 10m-long python which they finally captured at a chicken coop in Kampung Jelutong, near Padang Terap in the wee hours of the morning. It all started with a rooster crowing at the unearthly hour of about 2am Thursday (May 30) which awoke its owner, said Padang Terap District Civil Defence Force (APM) Officer Lt Mohd Shukri Shuib. The three female APM members arrived at the site at 3am and managed to capture the 90kg snake with special equipment. It was no easy feat as the exercise to capture the aggressive reptile took over 40 minutes. "The snake was then brought back to the district APM office and was handed over to the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan)," he added.
