Giant 22-foot python eats woman alive in Indonesia, Disturbing video footage shows remains of eaten woman inside cut-open snake
A missing Indonesian woman was found dead inside the stomach of a python at the rubber plantation where she worked, authorities told local media.
The woman, identified as Jahrah, 54, disappeared after going out to collect rubber in the forest near her family home in Jambi, Indonesia, on Sunday morning.

When Jahrah did not return home from her job as a rubber tapper on Sunday evening, her husband went out looking for her.
While out searching, Jahrah’s husband found her sandals, headscarf, jacket and tools discarded at the rubber plantation — but there was no sign of his wife, according to local reports. That’s when Jahrah’s husband raised the alarm and reported her missing.
Search parties were sent out to find the missing woman and, the following morning, they spotted a python with what appeared to be a large stomach.

“During the search, the team found a large python seven metres long suspected of having preyed on the victim,” said local police chief AKP S Harefa in a statement to Detik News. “The victim was found in the snake’s stomach.”
Harefa added that the woman’s body was “not destroyed when it was found in the snake’s body, because it was suspected that it had just been preyed upon.”
Detik News reported that Jahrah has since been buried by residents of her village.

Can a python swallow a human being?
Pythons swallow their food whole. Their jaws are connected by very flexible ligaments so they can stretch around large prey.
One expert had earlier told the BBC that pythons typically eat rats and other animals, “but once they reach a certain size it’s almost like they don’t bother with rats anymore because the calories are not worth it”.
“In essence they can go as large as their prey goes,” Mary-Ruth Low, then a conservation & research officer for Mandai Wildlife Group, said.
That can include animals as large as pigs or even cows.
