19-Foot python wrestles with man and loses

In more snake news, Briefly News previously reported that a man wrestled a python almost six metres long to the ground in a brawl that would send shivers down the spine of anyone afraid of snakes.

The man's match with the gigantic snake almost ended in tears as, as some pointed out, it tried wrapping itself around him.

@gladesboys recorded the man trying to take the giant snake on on his own. The video shows the man trying to grab the python by its tail. He struggles with it for a moment and it suddenly lunges at him with its mouth open.
