In a rare incident a python was caught on camera swallowing a goat which was grazing at Dinnahalli forest in Masti hobli of Malur taluk.

The people living in the Dinnahalli village and surrounding villages usually graze their cattle and other animals in the dense forest surrounding the Dinnahalli.

In a similar way a goat which had gone to graze in the forest was swallowed by a python.

A shepherd who was grazing the animals was so terrified at the sight that he ran to the village to inform the villagers.

Soon a large mass of people drove to the nearby forest to have a look at the python.

Some irate people even proposed to kill the python but better sense prevailed and some people opposed the move their by letting the python unharmed.

In recent days many pythons have been spotted by the people in around the village. And many a times they have been hand over the python to the forest officials setting a good example.
