SINGAPORE: A 2.4 metre python which slithered its way into the roof of a three-storey shophouse in Jalan Besar found itself attacked by a flock of angry crows.
Eyewitness Liang Fucai(58) said the Saturday incident (Oct 29) happened at around 5.15 pm, on the roof of the paint store where he worked.
The crows on the roof had suddenly started kicking up a fuss and when the ruckus did not after some time, Liang and a colleague decided to investigate the noise.
"We saw a python wrapped around a pipe on the roof. Five or six crows circled the python, and occasionally one of the birds would dive at the snake."
"The python seemed unfazed by the attacks. It slowly moved its head as if it were swallowing something. When we took a closer look, we realised that it had a crow in its mouth," said Liang.
Apparently, the snake was hungry and fancied crow for dinner. The crows, obviously unhappy about being placed on the menu, had decided to fight back.
Ignoring the noisy crows, the python continued to swallowed the crow it had caught and ate it in less than 10 minutes.
After that, it slithered into a pipe and hid itself.
