He was fishing in a lagoon when he suddenly caught a terrifying animal

A man fishing in a lagoon had a huge surprise unexpectedly leaving a terrifying animal water.

A man named Chalerm Nookaew was fishing in a lagoon from Thailand, and he was very surprised to capture a terrifying animal that has nothing to do with a fish.

The moment was captured in a video and the protagonist shared it in his Facebook account. It immediately became viral in social networks and reached thousands of reproductions in a very short time.

The 34-year-old man was in a lagoon in Chachoengsao province, southern Thailand, when he suddenly caught a 4-meter-long python with his fishing net.

After seeing the animal, he decided to quickly call the local emergency services and a rescue team immediately went to the site to help him.

The fisherman said: "I've been fishing here for a long time and I've never caught a snake before.I was surprised, but I'm glad it did not bite me.".

Pythons are snakes belonging to the family of boas. They are distinguished from boas by the fact that they have teeth in the premaxilla, a small bone in the anterior part of the upper jaw. Most boas give birth to live offspring, while pythons lay eggs. Some varieties can be very long: up to eight meters. Some species of sandas are wrongly called pythons.
