Age 14 years, weight 115 kg. It took a total of 12 people to catch the seven meter long snake. It is thought to be the largest living snake on display in the world today. Recently, this huge snake has found a place in The National Aquarium in Abu Dhabi.
According to the Khaleej Times, the elongated snake is a reticulated
python. It will be placed in the flooded forest part of the TNA. There, the
python will find more than eight thousand animals as companions.
Reticulated Python is native to South and Southeast Asia. It
is the longest snake in the world. They can grow up to five feet in the open.
However, the largest python recorded so far was 10 feet long.
The python is not poisonous. It basically uses its huge body
to kill the prey, then swallow it. Among the few snakes that have the ability
to hunt humans, the name Python comes first.
This national snake is more common on the island of Sulawesi
in Indonesia. However, the python, which is based in the United Arab Emirates,
was born in an artificial insemination center in Los Angeles, USA. The snake
has become accustomed to human contact there for the last 14 years. Visitors to
the UAE will get a chance to see him very soon.
