SINGAPORE – Retiree Calvin Yeo was driving in Teck Whye along with his son on April 27 after they noticed a creature on the street leaping and showing to chunk the tyres of shifting automobiles.
Upon getting nearer, the pair noticed a 2m-long python attacking at the very least 5 passing automobiles in the midst of a two-lane street close to Block 136 Teck Whye Lane at 10.45pm.
The 63-year-old stated: “It’s my first time seeing a big snake in an urban area. It was quite scary and aggressive. The snake’s belly was bulging like it had just eaten an animal the size of a cat.”
He added that had been “loud, popping noises” when the snake struck on the automobiles for over half-hour.
Mr Yeo and his son parked close by and stood about 2m to 3m away from the reptile. Vehicles slowed down and prevented the snake as they handed by the world, he added.
When contacted, the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (Acres) stated the python was shifting sluggishly because it had simply eaten.
Acres co-chief govt Kalaivanan Balakrishnan stated: “Because of their sluggishness, (snakes) become vulnerable and will generally be more defensive. This will explain the snake’s behaviour in being defensive against passing vehicles.”
