A large African rock python decided to interrupt a round of golf at the eighth hole as it slowly made its way from one side of the course to the other.
According to Nick Evans who shared the video on the KwaZulu-Natal Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Facebook page, the python is estimated to be 3.5m long and is ‘made of pure muscle’.
“It is a truly beautiful and magnificent animal. I’m so glad this majestic specimen was left alone. We need to work together in conserving this special species, through continuous education and the rescue of ‘problem animals,” said Evans.
Kyle Caitano who works at the Zimbali Pro Shop and who is seen in the video, said the snake has been around for some time and often settles between hole 2 and hole 8.
The video was captured by one of the marshalls.
