KOTA KINABALU, MALAYSIA -Civil Defense Department (JPAM) personnel came to the rescue of a villager who discovered a 4.6-metre long python near his house in the northern Kota Belud district.

The villager, Roslan Sarip Manjadin, spotted the reptile slithering under one of the sheds where he keeps his 50 pet cats at Kampung Nanamun early Friday morning.

JPAM Kota Belud coordinator Khairul Gumpitai said they were alerted of the incident at approximately 8.05am and four personnel including himself rushed to the village about 18km from the town area.
