Thiruvananthapuram: A worker had a terrifyingly close call with a seven-foot-long python while working in a rubber plantation in Chemboor. He was clearing a bushy, overgrown part of the estate when he spotted the massive snake.
The worker only saw the python when he was right next to it. He quickly jumped away just as the snake lunged, causing it to move off in another direction. Panicked locals immediately called the Forest Department for help.
