Residents in a suburban Australian neighborhood were stunned when a massive five-metre-long python was spotted slithering across rooftops, prompting both curiosity and concern. The snake’s dramatic rooftop journey was captured on video and quickly went viral on social media.
Wildlife experts believe the snake was searching for food or a new shelter. Despite its intimidating size, authorities reassured the public that pythons are typically non-aggressive and play a vital role in controlling local pest populations.
Officials urged residents to stay calm and not approach or attempt to capture the snake. Professional wildlife handlers are tracking the reptile to safely relocate it to a suitable natural environment.
The incident underscores the growing interactions between urban life and wildlife, reminding communities of the importance of coexistence as natural habitats continue to shrink.
