A team of forest officials and a snake rescue expert tried to save the goat, but it was dead by the time they freed it from the python’s clutches.

Though the snake was relatively slow-moving after its huge meal, it took the officials hours to catch the snake as it had taken refuge in a pit among the bushes.
A video taken by an onlooker shows Mr Baba holding the mouth of the python while other wildlife workers pull out the goat.
Rawat Tiwari, a forest official, said: ‘We tried to save the goat but when we pulled it out, it was already dead.’
The python was later released into the forest.
