Catching a Python on live bait

In many countries hunting is a type of men's games. Although after hunting prey spread on the table, most hunters could easily buy the meat at any grocery store. But in some countries, hunting is a means of survival.

For example, in Africa hunting for snakes it is in order to eat for another meal in the near future is not expected, and Python skin dearly valued in the market. Below shows how the hunters extract 6-meter African mountain Python on live bait.

For a start, one hand wrapped in the skin of the Buffalo. Presumably, this hand grabbed the giant snakes.

Find a snake pit in the mountains and climb head first. Nora Python has a length of about 10 meters. To not get stuck in a hole, the body smeared with a special lubricant.

The serpent sees perfectly in the dark. Rather, his infrared vision. People warm, so the snakes who saw the "yummy", very pripolzshaya to his hole, prepared to pounce. To confuse the snake and himself to see something, hunter ignites the branches. They are much warmer than human body, it enters a snake in the delusion.

Snakes, curled rings, lies on the eggs (in clutch there are usually at least 100 pieces).

Snake rushes at lunch.

But clever man inserts snake in hand, wrapped in a Buffalo coat. Disoriented snakes trying to bite through the skin, and the hunter with his free hand covers the snake's gullet, that he accidentally swallowed a hand with skin and the hunter.

In principle, even a three-meter Python capable of killing a person, well, six-meter, as in this case, swallows a person completely. At first, the pythons dig their teeth (the teeth of a Python in two rows, folded back, and escape only by leaving a piece of his flesh), then gradually wrapped around rings, the soul of the victim and breaking her bones. Well, in the end, like a stocking, "put on" to the already unconscious victim, swallowing it whole. Sometimes, the victim may regain consciousness within Python, however, to resist is futile.

To climb back from a six-meter kite, weighing 10-15 kg per meter, one unreal.

But it is hungry comrades of the hunter. They need to get hunter's legs together with the serpent.

The hunter, holding the throat of a snake appears on the surface.

If by land snakes cannot much resist on the surface of the real battle starts.

Hunters need: one to push the spear the serpent's head to the ground, the second is to hold the tail well and the hunter stabs the snake, trying not to damage the skin (it will sell).

The battle is over. One of the assistants climb into a hole and takes the remaining unguarded eggs. If they cook on a fire, they become a real delicacy.

When loaded with prey, the hunters appear in the village, they were greeted as true heroes.
