A 27-year-old pregnant woman in Nakhon Nayok, Thailand, risked her own safety to save her pet cat after it was attacked by a massive python on Monday (26 Jan) morning.
According to Thai publication The Thaiger, she was five months pregnant at the time of the incident.
Despite the dangers of the situation, she did not hesitate.
The incident came to light after her parents heard the chickens making distressing noises in their backyard.
Upon investigation, they found a four-metre-long python tightly coiled around their two-year-old male cat, Naruto.
