Kismit Posted December 29, 2003 #3 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Indonesian villagers claim to have captured a python that is almost 49.21 feet (15 meters) long and weighs nearly 992.07 pounds (450 kilograms), a local official said Monday. just as a comparison I pinched this off of another thread ... thanx Halo that makes it roughly the same length as a mature sperm whale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChinaLove Posted December 30, 2003 #7 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Holy sh**. Those idiots feed dogs to that snake? Poor digs... just shows you how how cultures deviate from eachother. I bet if that sh** was done over here in N. America, PeTA would be all over them like ticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naveed Posted January 6, 2004 #8 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Hmmm...I'm all for Peta. that is if it stands for people eating tastey animals. Anyways I heard snakes taste like chicken, so they should cook it and give it to starving people in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSideOfTheMoon Posted January 6, 2004 #9 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I think this is an absolutely AMAZING discovery. The previous record for captured Anacondas was 32 ft , this one was a tad under 50 ... , 1.5 times as large ... This means that perhaps somewhere in the depths of the ocean there could be Great White Sharks that are 40 ft long , or Crocodiles that are close to 35 ft ...

Halo_Jones Posted January 9, 2004 #12 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I might be mistaken, but wasn't some American Zoo offering a million Dollars for the sucessfull live capture of a snake over 35ft? I'm surprised that if this story is true, why is it not appearing in every newspaper around the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here I was hoping to take surfing lessons this summer.... You're not gonna see me out on the water... I think I'll do something nice and safe... Like train alibino tigers as attack kitties. I need a nice little army of white tigers to take care of the growing snacke population... Anyone know where I can get some Sabertooth Tiger DNA?
