(NEWS) Huge Python 'Swallowed A Drunk Man' [PHOTO]


The image posted by a user of the social networking site based in India has been retweeted almost 15,000 times and been favourited more than 4,000 times. The picture shows a huge snake lying on the ground with what looks like a person sized bulge inside their stomach. Twitter user Vikraman
Nair, who posted the picture of the bloated snake, said the image was of a python who ate a person whole. He shared the picture with the caption: “A Python ate a person who was drunk and lying beside the liquor shop. News from Attapady, Kerala.” However, while the picture shocked thousands of Twitter users it is claimed to be a fake as it has been circulated for more than a year. In the past websites have claimed the picture showed a man eaten in China in August 2012 and a person eaten in Indonesia in January 2013. Website The Hoax Slayer also alleges the picture has appeared on the web since at least September 2012.
