Python Captured After Disappearance of 25 Fighting Cocks in Udon Thani
A three-metre python was caught in Udon Thani, ending a two-week mystery involving the loss of 25 fighting cocks from a local property.
According to a report by Khaosod English, a three-metre python was captured at a residence located on the Udon Thani–Nong Samrong Road in the Mu Mon subdistrict. The discovery was made after the homeowner sought assistance from rescue workers from the Udon Thani Songserm Tham Foundation upon finding the snake attacking their poultry.
This incident provides a resolution to a mystery that had persisted for nearly two weeks, during which 25 fighting cocks had vanished from the property. The capture of the reptile confirms the cause behind the significant loss of the owner's livestock.
For residents and visitors in the region, this event serves as a reminder of the presence of wildlife in rural and semi-rural areas of Thailand. While such encounters are generally isolated, it is advisable for those keeping animals to remain vigilant regarding property security and to contact local rescue foundations if they suspect the presence of large snakes. At this time, it remains to be confirmed if there are other snakes in the immediate vicinity, though the primary threat to the poultry has been removed by the foundation's intervention.
