The terrifying moment former American football player Mike Holston pulled an enormous python and carried the long snake to battle it in a forest has caused a stir online.
In a video uploaded to the Instagram page of Complex, Holston first caught the snake by the head before pulling it out in a forest.
When the snake tried to set itself free, he prevented the serpent from coiling around him without fear.
''This snake is at a work site, and the guys in the back were going to eat him. We got a call to relocate it. While it’s usual to see snakes around Borneo, they usually go about their day, but this big guy could be a nice meal for the local village! So we just relocated him downriver,'' Holston explained in the comment section.
