Australian boy bitten and dragged into pool by python

[Eldorado]

A five-year-old Australian boy has survived being bitten, constricted and dragged into a swimming pool by a python about three times his size.

Beau Blake was enjoying a swim at home when the 3m long (10ft) reptile struck, his father told a local radio station.

The pair - still entangled - were pulled from the pool by Beau's elderly grandfather and the boy was prised free from the animal by his dad Ben.

But Beau is in good spirits and escaped with only minor injuries.

Ben told the radio station pythons were a fact of life in the area, about 8 hours north of Sydney, saying "look...it is Australia"
